Vauxhall Courier Quote
Market stand, office or home address, plus the drop and deadline, for a fixed rate.
Can a courier collect from New Covent Garden Market before dawn?
Yes. We work through the night, so a pickup at the market at 3am or 5am is no problem. The van goes straight to your restaurant, shop, venue or hotel. With empty roads, a Soho kitchen or a Mayfair hotel is only a short hop across the bridge. Night work is priced slightly higher, and it is all in the fixed quote.
Britain’s Biggest Fresh Produce and Flower Market
Vauxhall’s most important business is one most Londoners never see, because it trades while they sleep. New Covent Garden Market says it is the largest fruit, vegetable and flower wholesale market in the UK, with around 130 businesses on 38 acres in central London. Its fruit and vegetable traders open from 10pm to 6am, and the flower market from 4am to 10am.
That timetable shapes the courier work here. Chefs discover they are short of an ingredient at midnight. Florists need extra stems for a wedding at dawn. Caterers need a top-up before a lunchtime event. A courier in Vauxhall that can pick up at the market in the small hours and deliver before opening fills a gap that the traders’ own delivery rounds cannot always cover. Fresh produce and flowers travel in a clean van, loaded carefully and kept cool where needed. See our chilled courier service.
Vauxhall Cross
By day, the challenge is the gyratory at Vauxhall Cross, where five main roads meet around the bus station at the foot of Vauxhall Bridge. It is fast when clear and slow when not. Our drivers pick the lane early and avoid it altogether when a side route is quicker.

Vauxhall Courier FAQs
Can you collect flowers at New Covent Garden for a morning wedding?
Yes. Give us the wholesaler, the order and the venue. We collect as the flower market opens and deliver in time for set-up.
How do you keep produce fresh between the market and my kitchen?
The journey is usually short, and for anything sensitive we can arrange a chilled vehicle. Tell us what you are ordering.
Is Vauxhall inside the Congestion Charge zone?
No, but Westminster across the bridge is. When a charged route is used, the cost sits inside the fixed quote.
Do you also cover Nine Elms and Oval?
Yes, plus Kennington, Lambeth, Pimlico and Battersea.
Can you collect music equipment from a club in the arches at 4am?
Yes. Give us the venue, a contact and where the kit is going. We will be there at the agreed time.
