Whether you’re in Hackney, Harrow or Croydon, there are three ways to get road-legal number plates London-wide from us. Come to the workshop and wait while we make them, order online and pick them up the same day, or have them posted to you with free Royal Mail tracked delivery.
Every set is pressed and printed by our own team near Heathrow. We’re on the DVLA’s register of number plate suppliers, so like any legitimate maker we’ll ask for photo ID and proof the registration belongs to the car.

For picking a style online first, then grabbing them on the way past.
For number plates London customers have delivered, the clock starts when your documents reach us. Send them straight after you order and, if they arrive before 2pm on a weekday, your plates go out that afternoon.
South of the river
Coming from South London? The drive adds up
Plenty of our customers cross London to get to us, and a good number of them come from South London. When we ask why they’ve made the trip, the answer is nearly always the same. They looked for a number plate maker closer to home and couldn’t find one they trusted to do the job properly: a registered supplier, road-legal plates, and no cutting corners on the paperwork. Some of them drive an hour and a half to two hours to reach us, and they tell us it was worth it.
That’s lovely to hear, but you don’t have to make that journey.
If you’re south of the river and don’t need the plates today, Tracked 24 for £6.99 will usually get them to you sooner than a round trip would. If you’d still rather come in, for example so we can fit them for you, call or WhatsApp first and we’ll book you a slot.

Plate theft
Plates stolen in London?
London has a bigger plate theft problem than anywhere else in the UK. When the AA asked police forces for their figures, the Met had recorded 32,307 number plate thefts between January 2015 and September 2018, more than any other force. It hasn’t eased off since: thefts reported to DVLA rose by 68% between 2021 and 2024, according to figures Churchill Motor Insurance obtained from DVLA.

If yours have gone
- Report it to the police and keep the crime reference number.Stolen plates usually end up on a similar car, and that reference is what protects you if parking or speeding fines start arriving in your name.
- Leave the car where it is.Driving without plates isn’t legal, so don’t drive it over to us.
- Get replacements sorted.Order online with Tracked 24, or let someone else come in for you. They’ll need their own photo ID plus your V5C, or another document on our valid documents list.
Our step-by-step guide to stolen number plates covers insurers, cloned plates and what to do if fines arrive.
Private registrations
Putting a private registration on your car
Private plates are the other big reason for the number plates London customers order from us. We can make your plates once DVLA has assigned the number to your vehicle. Bring or send your V750 certificate of entitlement or V778 retention document (or the new V5C once it turns up), plus photo ID.
Two things to watch:
Don’t fit the new plates early. Until the number is assigned, the car is still registered under its old one.
Don’t be tempted to bend the spacing. Squeezing letters together or using a stylised font to spell a name is the classic private plate mistake. It can fail an MOT, bring a fine of up to £1,000, and DVLA can take the registration back. We make every set to the legal spacing, and our number plate spacing guide explains why.
Number plates London customers usually order
Most of the number plates London addresses get from us are straight replacements: standard printed plates at £29.99 a pair. If you want something with more depth, 3D gel and 4D 3mm plates start at £49.99, 4D gel is £64.99 and bevelled, our best seller across all orders, is £69.99. All of them are road legal and carry the BS AU 145e marking.

Number plates London: questions
Can I get number plates the same day in London?
Yes. Most same day number plates London customers need are made while they wait at our workshop. For delivery, plates go out the same afternoon if your order and documents reach us before 2pm on a weekday, and Tracked 24 usually arrives within 1 to 2 working days.
Can you post plates to my work address in London?
Yes, any UK address works, including offices. Just make sure someone can take the parcel in.
My plates have been stolen. Can I drive to you?
Not without plates on the car. Use Tracked 24, or ask a friend or family member to come in with their own ID and your V5C.
Will you ask for a crime reference before making replacements?
No. We need photo ID and proof the registration is yours. You should still report the theft to the police for your own protection.
I’ve just bought a private plate. How quickly can you make it?
As soon as DVLA has assigned it to your car. Walk in and we’ll make it while you wait, or order online and it goes out the day your documents reach us.
Do you deliver to every London postcode?
Yes. We post number plates London-wide at the same price as anywhere else in the UK: free with Tracked 48, or £6.99 for Tracked 24.
