If your consignment is too urgent for a parcel network, or it missed its collection, Same Day Couriers Kent can send a driver to your Swanley address the same day. Swanley's estates are within about a mile of M25 junction 3, where the M20 begins, so the job is on the motorway almost as soon as it's loaded.
Local knowledge
Business deliveries from Swanley
Which Swanley estates do we collect from?
All of them, and they’re compact. Swanley Distribution Park on London Road sits right at M25 junction 3. Wested Lane holds larger distribution and industrial premises, including The Interchange. South-east of the centre, The Grove Industrial Estate and Park Road Industrial Estate have smaller trade and workshop units off Park Road. Typical jobs include a pallet that missed its network collection, stock for a London store or replacement parts for a contractor’s plant.
Which way will we go?
Junction 3 gives you four directions: clockwise on the M25 towards Sevenoaks, Gatwick and Heathrow; anticlockwise to the Dartford Crossing, Essex and the M11; east on the M20 into mid-Kent; or west on the A20 through Sidcup towards central London. Darent Valley Hospital near Dartford is typically 15 to 20 minutes north for clinical items. We pick the route from your destination and live traffic.
How long from Swanley to London and the airports?
Swanley is one of the Kent towns closest to London. Outside peak hours, a van typically reaches central London in 45 to 75 minutes via the A20, Heathrow’s cargo area in 45 to 70 minutes via the M25, and Gatwick in 30 to 45 minutes via the M25 and M23. If your site works late, that’s fine: enquiries are answered 24/7.

Why not a parcel network?
The Same Day Couriers Kent difference
Less handling on the way
For most same-day jobs, your consignment travels directly with the assigned driver. It is not normally taken to a depot, sorted or moved between vehicles.
The vehicle you actually need
We match the vehicle to your job, from a motorcycle for documents to a 7.5-tonne lorry with tail-lift for pallets, so you're not paying for spare capacity.
You know where it is
The driver keeps you updated while the job is running, and proof of delivery gives you the recipient's name and the time of handover.
Cover agreed before you book
Every consignment includes cover up to £100. Worth more? Tell us the value and, where extra insurance can be arranged, we confirm the cover and cost before you accept.
