Starting in London, consumers will be able to take advantage of Prime membership to enjoy one-hour delivery on over 10,000 products. Whether you're in dire need of some nappies, or need a games console to ramp up your home entertainment options, Amazon will deliver supported items within the hour. Unfortunately, it's only covering London for the time being.</p>  <p>Should you be rocking Amazon Prime, download the official Prime Now App (available on iOS and Android) to find eligible postcodes. You can even request notification as to when the service becomes available in your local area. Deliveries within the hour will set you back £6.99, but you can grab the two-hour or same-day options for free. It's a neat service for those who simply cannot wait for their orders to hit the front door.</p> <div class="video"><div class="video_iframe"><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/HsxRz4lKu3I?rel=0&autoplay=0&wmode=opaque&controls=2&autohide=1&showinfo=0" width="627" height="353" class="video-filter video-youtube vf-hsxrz4lku3i" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div></div>  <ul><li>Free - <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/amazon-prime-now/id947644950?mt=8&at=10l3Vy&ct=d_im" title="" rel="nofollow">Download Now[/url]</li> </ul><p>Find out more on Amazon Prime Now by heading to the <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/b/ref=pn_uk_surl_lp?node=6584642031&tag=androcentr-21&m1k=d_im" title="" rel="nofollow">official website[/url].</p> <div class="pressrelease"> <p>LONDON — June 30th, 2015—Amazon.co.uk today announced Prime Now, the newest benefit for Prime members, which offers one-hour delivery on over ten thousand items through a mobile app. Prime Now is powered by Amazon's growing network of fulfilment centres that utilise high-end technology to speed up order delivery times for customers.

The service launches today in selected London postcodes and is expected to reach all of London and additional UK cities by the end of the year.</p> <p>"Millions of customers across London can use the Prime Now app today and discover over ten thousand items for one-hour delivery, or select a free two-hour, same-day delivery slot," said Christopher North, Managing Director of Amazon UK. "This is just the beginning.

Amazon Logistics' delivery station in East London will serve as the first hub for delivery of Prime Now orders.</p> <p>Amazon Prime is already an immensely popular service with millions of members in the UK.
