Collect in Kent, delivery arranged anywhere in the UK
Same Day Courier to Olympia London from Kent
Olympia London refuses loading access to any vehicle without a Voyage Control slot, so book yours first. Then Same Day Couriers Kent collects your graphics, stock or equipment in Kent and drives to Hammersmith Road to arrive at the start of that slot, typically 1.5 to 2.5 hours from Maidstone.
Delivery details
Delivering to Olympia London: what to know
What are Olympia’s delivery rules?
One Voyage Control booking per vehicle per day, bookable up to 30 days ahead, and no arriving before your slot starts. Vehicles taller than 4.4 metres cannot get in. Many organisers also want show-day deliveries finished, and the vehicle out of the loading area, half an hour before doors open, so check your exhibitor manual.
Which way does the driver go in?
From Hammersmith Road, turning into Olympia Way or Blythe Road as your event’s traffic plan says. The Grand Hall has its own entrance on Olympia Way, opposite Kensington Olympia station. Olympia is several connected halls, the Grand Hall, National Hall, Olympia Central and the two-level Olympia West, so give us the hall and stand number. From Kent the driver either crosses London on the A20 and A2 or goes round the M25 and in on the M4, whichever is quicker that day.
What should I send you?
Your slot, the event’s delivery instructions, the hall and stand, what is going with its size and weight, and a named person on the stand. We quote and confirm a collection time, then match the vehicle to the load and the height limit, from a small car to a van or 7.5-tonne lorry. Cover up to £100 is included; if your items are worth more, give us the value and, where extra cover can be arranged, we confirm the level and any cost before you accept.

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.
