Same-day courier services in Canary Wharf
Same-day courier across Canary Wharf. Outside the Congestion Charge, with the height limits and goods-in slots that decide the van.
Same-day courier service in Canary Wharf
Tasito provides dedicated same-day courier services across Canary Wharf and the surrounding Isle of Dogs business addresses, from the tower estates to the smaller offices around South Quay and Heron Quays. From urgent documents and legal bundles to equipment, display stock and time-critical parts, we collect directly from your premises and deliver to a named person on a named floor. Canary Wharf looks like the City from the outside and bills like something quite different, which is the useful thing to know before booking.
It sits outside the Congestion Charge zone, so a delivery here carries none of the £18 that applies a mile and a half west. What it does have is basement service bays with height limits, booked goods-in slots and security screening, and those decide the vehicle more than the pallet count does.
The charge that does not apply
The Congestion Charge does not reach Canary Wharf. It rose to £18 a day on 2 January 2026 and it covers the central zone, which stops short of the estate.
That is a real saving against a City drop for identical work, and it is worth knowing if you have a choice of where a meeting or a signing happens. ULEZ does apply, as it does in every London borough, at £12.50 a day for a non-compliant van. We send ULEZ-compliant vans into London, and if the right van for a job ever is not, we tell you about the £12.50 before we set off.
The tunnels are the thing to watch here instead. Blackwall and Silvertown charge from 06:00 to 22:00 every day except Christmas Day, each crossing separately, and the Blackwall approach is a few hundred metres from the estate. A large van on Auto Pay pays £2.60 off-peak and £6.80 at peak. Without Auto Pay it is £6.80 at any chargeable hour. If your job stays north of the river the tunnels never come into it.
The height limit decides the van
This is the thing that catches people out at Canary Wharf, and it has nothing to do with pallet counts.
Goods-in runs through basement service bays. Those bays have height restrictions, security screening and booked slots, and the estate has its own vehicle rules on top. Our Luton has a 2.1m internal load height and the body sits well above that, so for most tower addresses it simply does not fit.
The answer is usually a long wheelbase at 3.3m carrying three standard pallets, or an extra-long at 4.2m carrying four, run twice if the volume needs it. Two trips in a vehicle that fits beats one trip in a vehicle that gets turned round at the ramp.
Tell us the building when you book and we will check the restriction rather than discovering it on arrival.
Booked slots and screening
Most of the buildings here require the delivery to be booked in advance with a named recipient, and some require the driver's details in advance too. Security screening adds time at the gate.
What we need from you: the building, the floor or the company, the contact name, a mobile, and the goods-in booking reference if one exists. Without the reference a driver waits, and the wait is on your clock rather than ours.
What the work usually is
Legal and financial documents, corporate hospitality supplies, IT and AV equipment, and office consignments. Most of it is small and urgent rather than heavy, which means a short wheelbase at 450kg is often the right and cheapest answer.
Where it gets heavier, our fleet is FORS accredited and renewed for 2026, which satisfies the access requirements at the larger estates and at any construction or fit-out work on the estate.
The fleet page has every class and load dimension.
Where Canary Wharf work goes
Other services we run at Canary Wharf
Two-man delivery for IT, AV and furniture going up to a floor rather than to a loading bay. Multi-drop across several towers on one run. Next-day courier where the slot can be booked for tomorrow morning and the pressure comes off.
Our same-day courier service has the booking detail.
Canary Wharf questions
No. The charge covers the central zone and Canary Wharf is outside it. At £18 a day since 2 January 2026 that is a real difference against a City drop for the same work. ULEZ still applies across every London borough.
Usually not. The Luton has a 2.1m internal height and the body is taller again, and most tower basement bays are restricted below that. We would send a long wheelbase with three pallets or an extra-long with four, twice if needed. Give us the building at booking and we will confirm rather than guess.
If the building runs one, yes. Without it the driver waits at the barrier and that time is chargeable. Building, floor or company, contact name, mobile and the reference is everything we need.
It varies by building and we would rather build a realistic allowance into the window than quote you an arrival time that assumes a clear run through the gate. Tell us the deadline that matters and we work backwards from it.
Only if the job crosses the river. Canary Wharf is north of it, so a collection in Essex and a drop here never touches a tunnel. If the consignment carries on to Greenwich or south London afterwards, that is when it applies, and we tell you the figure first.
A short wheelbase, 450kg payload, 2.1m load space. For documents and small parcels there is no reason to pay for anything larger, and the smaller van also has a better chance of a legal stop on the estate roads.
Yes, and it is the sensible way to do it. One vehicle, one run, the drops sequenced. Give us the booking reference and contact for each building, because the slots are what dictates the order rather than the geography.
The building's, almost always. We take bookings until 4pm Monday to Friday, but a van arriving at 18:30 to a service bay that closed at 17:00 has not delivered anything. Give us the goods-in slot and we work to that instead.
