How this route works
Book online or by phone, any hour of the day. A driver from our Smethwick base collects within 30 to 60 minutes, loads with the tail-lift, and drives straight to London with no depot stops and no other customers' goods on board. You get a photo and a signed proof of delivery as soon as the goods are off the van.
Congestion and ULEZ charges are added at cost for deliveries inside the zones. The ULEZ covers all of Greater London and charges non-compliant vans, the Congestion Charge applies in the centre on weekdays and weekends, and the Dartford, Blackwall and Silvertown crossings are tolled; all are added at cost.

Questions about this route
How long does a dedicated delivery from Birmingham to London take?
About 2 hours 30 minutes driving once the van is loaded, around 125 road miles. We collect within 30 to 60 minutes of booking, so a same-day delivery is normal.
Can you deliver into Heathrow's cargo area?
Yes. Our drivers hold photo ID and we need the airline or handling agent reference, the shed number and any booking slot before departure. Airside deliveries are not offered.
Do you cover Canary Wharf and the Isle of Dogs?
Yes. Most towers have a loading bay with a booking system and height limit, so send us the building's delivery instructions and we book the slot before the van leaves Birmingham.
Can you collect in London and deliver to Birmingham?
Yes. We run Birmingham to London every working day and usually have a van coming back, so collections in London for the Midlands are priced keenly.
