Moving house in London
What makes a London move different, and what to sort out before the day.
Parking comes first
Most inner London streets are controlled parking zones, with resident bays on both sides and nowhere obvious for a removal van. Every council sets its own rules for moving day, and they are not the same. Some let a removal van stop in any bay while it loads; others want a suspension booked one to two weeks ahead.
Work out the rule for both ends of your move before you fix the date. The table below has each council we cover, its notice period and the page it comes from.
Mansion blocks, porters and lifts
Red-brick mansion blocks are everywhere in west and south-west London, from Chelsea and Kensington to Battersea and Balham. Many have a porter or a managing agent with moving-day rules: set hours, a booked lift, protection for the common parts. Ask for the rules early and send them to us; we note the floor, the lift and the stairs at both ends before the day.
New-build blocks by the river work the same way, usually with a concierge, a loading bay and a booked slot. Tell us the slot and we plan the loading around it.
Stairs, conversions and narrow hallways
A lot of London lives in Victorian and Edwardian terraces split into flats. That means shared front doors, tight hallways and stairs with a turn in them. Beds, wardrobes and large sofas often have to come apart to get out, and floors and doorframes need covering before anything moves. Tell us the floor and the width of the stairs when you ask for a quote.
Choosing the day
Count back from the date: your council's suspension notice, any lift or loading-bay booking in a block, and the survey all need to fit in before it. Then check for anything that fills your street on the day, such as a home match near Craven Cottage or Stamford Bridge, a street market or roadworks with their own suspensions. If your dates are flexible, tell us when you ask for a quote.
ULEZ and London driving rules
The Ultra Low Emission Zone covers all London boroughs, around the clock, every day except Christmas Day. Every area on this page is inside it. Vehicles that do not meet its emissions standards pay a daily charge. Our van meets the ULEZ standard, so there is no ULEZ charge on your move.

London moving questions
See all questionsYes. We cover every borough in London. These pages are the areas with a local guide so far.
Yes. One van with one or two movers, booked by the hour, for single items, a few pieces or a studio flat, anywhere in London.
It depends on your council. Kensington and Chelsea says most home removals do not need one. Islington usually lets a removal van park outside your home for free. Most others ask you to book ahead, from three working days in Ealing to ten in Merton, Richmond, Hounslow and Lambeth.
