George Edgar, UK brand marketing manager at Gorillas, said: “We have amazing local brand partners and work with household names you will all know at the same price as the large supermarkets and we are operating in Angel and Shoreditch now.”

Using electric bikes Gorillas riders will get to your door faster and without polluting the roads also when you shop little and often you don’t need to use so much plastic packaging and chemicals.

Where do Gorillas deliver to?
Gorillas have already launched in Islington and Shoreditch and plan to launch in Battersea, Kennington, Brixton and Finsbury Park late March/April.
How did the company mark the launch of Gorillas in east London?
We sent one of its riders onto the streets to perform some impressive stunts.
We filmed the rider on his first London delivery journey, which started with him base jumping in the morning sunshine, before getting on his bike to speedily make his way to his first job, throwing in some BMX tricks along his way. We wanted to show our riders really are one-of-a-kind!”
We're also creating a mural in Bethnal Green as a thank you to the community for welcoming the new app.
