EC1 Courier Quote
Showroom, studio or office address plus the drop. We answer with a fixed price, charges included.
Can a courier collect design samples from Clerkenwell today?
Yes. We usually reach an EC1 showroom or studio within the hour, and the samples ride in one van until they are handed over. Most of central London is 10 to 25 minutes away. Clerkenwell is inside the Congestion Charge zone, and that charge is already in the fixed price.
The Design Capital of London
Clerkenwell has more furniture, lighting and interiors showrooms per street than anywhere else in the UK, plus a large community of architects and designers. Once a year the whole neighbourhood becomes a festival. Clerkenwell Design Week reports 43,162 visitors in 2026, with 76% of them architects and designers.
That concentration drives a very particular kind of courier work. Specifiers need sample boards, fabric swatches and finishes at a client meeting this afternoon. Brands move prototypes and display pieces between showrooms, warehouses and exhibition venues. Architects send drawings and models to planners and clients. A courier in Clerkenwell handling this work has to be quick and careful in equal measure, because a scratched sample or a late model can lose a pitch.
Festival week
During Design Week the streets fill with visitors and installations, and parking gets even tighter than usual. We book loading times with showrooms in advance where we can, and use smaller vans for short hops within EC1. Our events courier service covers build-up and breakdown.

Westminster and Canary Wharf, 20 to 30 minutes.

Clerkenwell Courier FAQs
How do you keep a furniture prototype safe on the way from Clerkenwell?
It is wrapped, strapped and kept in a van on its own with one driver. Nobody else touches it between your showroom floor and the client’s door.
Is the Congestion Charge added on top for EC1 jobs?
No. Clerkenwell is inside the zone, and the charge is part of the fixed price whenever it applies.
Can you help showrooms during Clerkenwell Design Week?
Yes. We handle deliveries of stock, display items and furniture before, during and after the festival. Book early for busy days.
What is the best way to send an architectural model from EC1?
Tell us its size and how fragile it is. We choose a van with room to keep it level and the driver hands it over in person.
Does a Saturday showroom pickup cost more?
Weekend work is slightly more than weekday daytime work, and the same applies to nights and bank holidays. The fixed quote already reflects this.
