London Same Day Courier: Navigating the Capital with Confidence
Serving Greater London and beyond
Same-day delivery in London takes precision. With ULEZ charges, 15-minute loading bays, and relentless congestion, it’s a city that punishes poor planning. With 30 years of experience, Horsleys specialises in high-value, urgent, large, heavy or fragile items and how to move them across the capital without stress or delays.
From Heathrow freight and construction deliveries to antiques in Soho, every job is planned with the detail London demands.

Our Clients
Trusted by businesses across the UK for professional courier services
Trusted by Retailers , Designers & Auction Houses Across the Capital
From the M25’s daily crawl to tight delivery slots in Soho, London logistics demands experience. We know the Red Route rules, where to stop without fines, and how to time deliveries around ULEZ and LEZ charges.
Whether it’s a freight handoff at Heathrow, an antique cabinet to Kensington, or last-mile delivery ito the City, we get it done. Our vetted drivers work with real-time traffic insight and clear delivery briefings — because when you’re moving goods through central London, margin for error is zero
Horsley's Brand Promise
We charge fair rates for time and expenses
NO CRAMMING, NO DAMAGE
Your items get the space they deserve
While other courier services pack 12+ deliveries into one van, we dedicate our vehicle to YOUR delivery. No cramming, no corner-cutting, no "it'll probably be fine" mentality. Your antique furniture, arcade machines, or valuable goods travel properly protected with blankets, corner guards, and professional strapping. Because there's no point paying for delivery if your items arrive scratched, dented, or broken.
What you avoid:
Damaged goods, insurance claims, replacement costs, disappointed customers
The Bottom Line: We charge fair rates for time and expenses because that's what quality service costs. Your items are valuable, your reputation matters, and your customers deserve better than budget courier chaos.
What Our Clients Say

From transporting delicate hardwood pieces to large-scale case goods and bespoke counters, Horsleys understand the precision and care required. Their communication is excellent, their drivers are well-briefed, and every delivery arrives on time and in perfect condition. Whether it’s a single crafted item or a full fit-out for a luxury residential or hospitality project, we know we can rely on Horsleys to get it there properly.
At Jerome Shorter Furniture, every project involves multiple moving parts from transporting antique chairs to be restored, to delivering newly upholstered pieces to discerning clients. Horsleys have become an essential partner in making this possible. Their team handle every collection and delivery with professionalism, care, and reliability.

For a business like ours, where craftsmanship and presentation are everything, Horsleys give us complete confidence that our work will reach clients exactly as intended. We would recommend them without hesitation.
As a wholesale timber merchant, we’re moving large and heavy loads that not every courier can handle. Horsleys have consistently delivered with care, precision, and no fuss. Whether it’s sawn timber to a workshop or finished stock to a commercial site, they show up on time, properly equipped, and ready to get the job done. Their team understands how to handle natural materials safely, and communication is always amazing.

London Delivery Experts – Red Routes, LEZ Navigation & City Access

We know the Red Route rules, how to plan around ULEZ and LEZ, and how to keep jobs moving through one of the most heavily regulated and congested cities in Europe. Our vetted drivers are briefed with real-world knowledge, not just a postcode. And our operations team plans every job like it matters — because in London, it does.
If you’re shipping in, out, or across the capital:
• We plan around ULEZ/LEZ zones and 15-minute loading windows
• We know where to stop without racking up PCNs
• We schedule off-peak and after-hours when speed matters most
• We match vehicle size to access limits and parking rules
• We quote based on time, urgency, and access — not guesswork
