Two-man delivery in City of London
Tasito runs two-man delivery throughout the City of London, covering the Bishopsgate and Fenchurch Street towers at one end and the smaller offices off Chancery Lane and Cheapside at the other. A crew of two travels with the vehicle, so office furniture, equipment and fit-out loads reach a named floor and a named person rather than stopping in the street outside.
This is where a crew counts for most and where the building counts for more than the load. A loading bay is something most addresses here simply do not have, the larger ones take deliveries through basement service bays on booked slots with a height limit on the bay, and the kerb outside tends to be a red route or a timed restriction. Bookings run until 4pm, Monday to Friday, and the £18 charge is quoted at booking rather than appearing afterwards.
Where the work is
Office moves, furniture, IT and AV equipment and fit-out materials are the crewed work here. The towers around Bishopsgate and Fenchurch Street run goods-in properly. The smaller offices off Cheapside and Chancery Lane do not, and those are the ones where the second person does everything a dock would otherwise do.
Our fleet is FORS accredited and renewed for 2026, which is what a fit-out or construction gate in the City checks before a vehicle comes in.
The charge, plainly
Since 2 January 2026 the Congestion Charge has stood at £18 a day, having been £15 before that, and the central zone takes in the City. Half of it comes back as a discount on an electric van. Sitting on top is the Ultra Low Emission Zone, which reaches every borough in London and costs £12.50 a day for a vehicle that does not comply. Compliant vehicles are what we send into London, and on the rare job where the right vehicle is not one, you hear about the £12.50 before we leave.
Before a wheel has turned that is the base on any City job, and it forms part of the figure you get at booking. A clean quote followed by an invoice carrying the charge is not how we work.
Getting in, and the signature
Parking is close to non-existent and there is very little to load into. The arterial roads are red routes or carry timed restrictions, and plenty of the side streets run loading windows that have shut by mid-morning.
A postcode will not carry a crewed job, then. Give us the company, the floor, a named contact and a mobile, and say at booking if somebody has to come down to the street, so the arrival time accounts for it. Where the building runs booked goods-in, hand us the slot and the reference and we work to those hours instead of our own.
The signature counts for more in the City than anywhere else we go. Where a consignment is meant for a named recipient, a signature from a reception desk proves very little. Name the person who has to take it and the crew waits for them.
What the crew does, and what it does not
Off the vehicle, through the entrance, up to the floor and positioned where you want it. Packaging leaves with the crew where the booking provided for it.
Assembly, installation and commissioning are outside the job. A server room delivery or an office move arrives in its cases and sections and stays that way until your engineer or fitter is there, so send us their time if the two have to meet inside the same goods-in slot. Taking the old equipment or furniture out is separate work with disposal attached to it.
What we want in advance is the goods lift and its internal depth, the floor, the tightest doorway on the route in, and the longest item. In a building off Chancery Lane with no lift at all, the number of flights and the tightest turn are what settle it.
What we send and what fits
Capacity is the wrong first question on a palletised load going into one of the larger buildings. A Luton is frequently the vehicle that cannot get down the basement ramp at all, and two runs with a long wheelbase at 3.3m and three standard pallets each will beat one that gets turned away. We settle which before the vehicle loads, not at the barrier.
On a small consignment the short wheelbase is the right call, 450kg in 2.1m of space, and it has the best chance of a legal stop while two people carry. A medium at 800kg holds two standard pallets or three Euro, an extra-long at 4.2m holds four standard or five Euro, and the flat bed at 2.7m and 800kg takes whatever a doorway will not.
Dimensions for the full range sit on the fleet page, with UK pallet sizes explained setting the standard footprint beside the Euro one.
Where City of London work goes
With more than one drop, the City, Canary Wharf and Greenwich sit on a single run, and each of the three stands differently for charging, which is worth settling before all three go in the diary. Back out to Essex is the A13.
Two people stay with the vehicle the whole way, so the receiving building's goods-in hours set the shape of the day rather than the mileage.
Other services we run in City of London
Same-day courier for documents, bundles and contracts where one driver and a signature is the job. Next-day courier into a booked morning slot, which takes the timing problem out of it. Multi-drop across several City addresses, where the daily charge lands once on the vehicle rather than per booking. Planning, routing and sorting where the same movement repeats.
The full two-man delivery service covers how the crew is booked with the vehicle, which is worth settling before an office move goes into a building with no loading bay.
City of London questions
£18 a day, always live inside the City, and part of the figure you get at booking. An electric van halves it. The number comes to you up front instead of arriving later on paper.
Call and we will tell you what is free. Booking the previous day secures it, and with a goods-in slot at the far end that is the arrangement we would recommend.
Most do not have one. We send the smallest vehicle the load will fit, which is the one most likely to stop legally, and we want somebody able to come down to the street. Flag it at booking so the arrival time allows for it.
Sometimes. Six pallets is what a Luton holds and it is still frequently the wrong choice, because the basement bays carry height limits. A long wheelbase doing two runs of three standard pallets gets in where the Luton will not. We check the building before committing.
No. Carried in and positioned on the floor it is going to. Installation and commissioning are a separate trade, so send us your engineer's time if they have to work inside the same slot.
Yes, and in the City that is generally the whole point. Company, floor, contact name and a mobile is what we work from, and the crew holds on for the right person instead of leaving it downstairs.
No. It is charged daily against the vehicle, so three drops on one run attract it a single time. That is the strongest argument for multi-drop over three separate bookings into the zone.
4pm is the cut-off, Monday to Friday, and earlier is the useful answer. A late collection puts the crew on the Limehouse Link approach at the worst hour of the evening, arriving at a goods-in desk that shut some time earlier.
