Where does Christmas come from ?

For many families, Christmas (or at least the decorations, toys, food and other items) come from Waltham Point: the main distribution warehouse for Sainsbury's stores in the SE.

Waltham Point lies next to the M25.

Some good images in the Sainsbury's article which provide a lot of useful geographical background for this as a possible thing to explore: the whole area of transport has a key link. Some years ago when I did my degree at Huddersfield, there was a new degree course on Geography and Transport.

This GUARDIAN ARTICLE also links the contracts for producing materials for DISNEY.
