The Government does not hold specific estimates in relation to the income of self-employed delivery drivers operating in London.

The Government has published research on the experiences and characteristics of those participating within the gig economy, of which there is a high proportion providing delivery services. This can be found at https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/gig-economy-research.
