- Choose the date and time slot in the cart. Only open dates are shown, so what you see is what we can deliver.

From Australia to family in East London
Perhaps you are a Londoner who moved to Sydney, Melbourne, Perth or Brisbane, with parents or grandparents still in Walthamstow, Leyton, Ilford or Romford. Being 9 to 11 hours ahead means you often wake up to a birthday that has not started in London yet, so there is still time to plan it.
If your son or daughter has gone to London to study or work, we deliver to student homes, halls and flat shares in our area, including around Queen Mary in Mile End (E1) and the University of East London in Stratford (E15). Add their flat number and phone number so the driver can reach them.
Dates to plan ahead for
- Christmas 2026Summer for you, winter in London. December books up, so choose your date in the cart early.
- UK Mother's Day: Sunday 7 March 2027Australia celebrates on Sunday 9 May 2027. The UK day comes first, so it is easy to miss.
- UK Father's Day: Sunday 20 June 2027Australia marks Father's Day in September, so the UK date is the one to remember for a dad in London.
- University graduationsEast London graduations are usually in July. A cake at home after the ceremony is a lovely surprise.
