Kennington Courier Quote
SE11 collection, the drop and the latest time it can arrive. We set a fixed price.
How close is Kennington to central London by courier van?
Very. Westminster is around ten minutes over Lambeth or Vauxhall Bridge, and the City about fifteen off-peak. We usually collect in SE11 within the hour and drive straight to the destination. The Congestion Charge is included in the fixed price where it applies.
Matchdays at the Oval
Kennington is home to one of the world’s most famous cricket grounds. Surrey County Cricket Club says The Oval has been its home ever since 1845, and the ground is known worldwide for its history and its gasholders. Today it hosts international Tests, county cricket, T20 nights and a busy conference and events business.
On big match days the area around Harleyford Road, Kennington Oval and the Vauxhall end fills with spectators, and extra stewarding and restrictions follow. That is also when suppliers most need things delivered: extra catering stock, bar supplies, printed materials, hospitality gifts and last-minute equipment. A courier in Kennington who plans around crowds and gate times can get deliveries in when most vans are turned away. Tell us the gate and contact and we will time the arrival. See our events courier page.
Outside the season
Kennington is also a quiet residential area with a strong professional base. Barristers’ clerks, architects, charities and small firms work from its Georgian and Victorian terraces, while the office blocks towards Lambeth North and Elephant and Castle hold larger employers. We carry legal bundles, signed contracts, IT equipment and samples between them and the rest of London. See our legal couriers page.

Kennington’s Roads
Kennington Road and Kennington Park Road carry the A23 and A3 between the Elephant and Brixton or Clapham. Kennington Lane runs west to Vauxhall. The Congestion Charge zone boundary is just to the north, so many deliveries from here cross into it. That charge is part of the price we quote, and ULEZ is never an issue for our fleet.

Kennington Courier FAQs
What happens to deliveries near the Oval on a Test match day?
We check the match times, approach from the least affected side and allow extra time. For the ground itself, we need the gate and contact details in advance.
Can court bundles go from Kennington chambers to the Royal Courts of Justice?
Yes. It is usually a 15 minute drive. The driver hands the bundles to the named clerk or court office and we confirm delivery.
Is Kennington inside the Congestion Charge zone?
Most of it sits just outside, but many drops are inside. Either way, the charge is covered in your fixed price.
Do you also cover Oval, Stockwell and Walworth?
Yes, along with Lambeth North, Elephant and Castle and Vauxhall.
Can hospitality stock arrive at the ground before an evening T20?
Yes. Evening work has a small premium over daytime, and you see it in the quote before you confirm.
