melv, I would wait with thinking about courier work until you are more used to cycling in London. If you haven't had a bike for 10 years it will take a little while. I am not a courier but I always cycled. Then I had a break for about 5 years where I got lazy (and fat). After that getting into cycling again really took a while. You learn to know the city, its many potholes, metal plates in the ground, dodgy corners and crossings, and you might crash as well. Everyone I know has crashed at some point and had broken or twisted bones.
So take it step by step...
