Poplar Courier Quote
Where in E14, where to, and by when. We come back with a total that includes any tunnel toll.
How quickly can something get from Poplar to south of the river?
Very quickly. The Blackwall Tunnel starts in Poplar, so Greenwich is often ten minutes away once the van is loaded. We normally collect in E14 within the hour and drive direct. The tunnel charge is part of the price you agree.
Chrisp Street and a Changing Town Centre
Chrisp Street Market has been Poplar’s shopping heart since the 1950s, when it was built as part of the Festival of Britain’s Lansbury estate. It is now set for a major rebuild. Poplar HARCA says the scheme, led by Telford Living, will bring hundreds of new homes, new market and retail space, pocket parks and a community hub, and restore heritage landmarks such as the Festival of Britain clocktower.
Regeneration on this scale means years of site deliveries alongside a market that keeps trading. Traders need stock, builders need materials and fixings, and new residents need furniture and parcels. A courier in Poplar has to fit around market days, site gate times and the heavy traffic on East India Dock Road. Our drivers are used to all three. Contractors can read more on our construction page.
Tunnel traffic
Poplar is where the A12 dives into the Blackwall Tunnel and the A13 crosses it. At peak times queues build on both. We watch the traffic and, where it saves time, use the Silvertown Tunnel from the Royal Docks instead. Either way, the toll is covered in your quote.

Poplar Courier FAQs
Do you use the Blackwall or Silvertown Tunnel from Poplar?
Whichever is quicker at the time. Both charges are included in the fixed price.
Can you deliver to a stall at Chrisp Street Market?
Yes. We stop at the nearest point allowed and carry the stock to the stall. Early mornings are best.
Is Leamouth or Blackwall part of the Poplar area for you?
Yes, as are All Saints, Limehouse, Bow Common and the Isle of Dogs.
Can you bring fixings to a Poplar building site before 8am?
Yes. Tell us the gate and contact. Early starts are priced slightly above normal daytime hours, which the quote reflects.
What size van can reach the riverside towers?
Most sizes, subject to the building’s loading bay. Tell us the bay height and booking rules and we will match the vehicle.
