Does anyone offer same day courier collections in Dulwich?
We do. A van reaches most Dulwich addresses within the hour, and the driver goes straight to the delivery point. The West End is about 30 minutes away off-peak and Croydon around 25. If the route uses the College Road toll, it is included in your fixed price.
London’s Last Tollgate
Dulwich has something no other part of London still has. The Dulwich Estate explains that the last remaining tollgate in London stands on a private section of College Road, SE21, between the South Circular and Fountain Drive. It helps control traffic and heavy goods vehicles on that stretch, and the standard toll for a single journey is £1.20 for motor vehicles other than motorbikes.
For a van heading from Dulwich Village up to Crystal Palace or Sydenham Hill, College Road is often the most direct line. Sometimes it is worth paying, sometimes a route via Croxted Road or Lordship Lane is just as quick. A courier in Dulwich who knows the difference makes the call on the day. Either way, you do not deal with the toll: when we use it, it is part of the price you agreed.
Private roads and quiet streets
Much of Dulwich is owned by the Dulwich Estate, with wide, tree-lined roads and large houses set back from the street. That is pleasant to drive through but can make individual addresses hard to find, especially after dark. Our drivers check house names and access before they arrive, and call ahead if a gate or long drive is involved.

Journey Times From Dulwich
The South Circular cuts through Dulwich Common, giving quick links west to Clapham and east to Catford and Lewisham. North, Denmark Hill and Camberwell lead towards the Elephant and the City. South, the roads climb to Crystal Palace, then drop towards Croydon and Bromley. Deliveries into the charging zone carry no extra line on the bill, because the Congestion Charge sits inside our price, and every van we run is ULEZ compliant.

Dulwich Courier FAQs
Will I be charged separately for the College Road toll?
No. If the best route runs through the tollgate, the toll is included in the fixed price we give you.
Can you take an antique from Dulwich to a London auction house?
Yes. The piece is wrapped, strapped and carried alone in a dedicated van, then handed to the named person at the saleroom.
Is East Dulwich treated the same as Dulwich Village?
Yes. We also cover West Dulwich, Herne Hill, Peckham Rye and Sydenham Hill. Price is based on vehicle and distance only.
Can you deliver staging to a Dulwich school for an evening show?
Yes. Give us the school, the gate, the arrival time and a contact on site. Evening work costs a little more and is in the quote.
What if my Dulwich house is hard to find at night?
Give us the house name, gate details and a phone number. The driver will call ahead so nobody is left waiting.
