Job as a courier / messenger?

I know there have been a few threads on this matter already but I would quite like some up to date information.

I am taking a year out from university to do some serious travelling but I would quite like a job until Christmas, preferably as a bicycle courier in London.

I've applied to a few places and not heard back from and failed the geography test at CitySprint even though my London road knowledge isn't bad. Are there any smaller companies currently recruiting or bigger ones likely to take on a rookie? I'm not too worried about earning slightly less at a smaller company. Other than internet searches is there any other way I can get a job as a courier or get contacts in the industry?

Cheers,

Hugo
