Moving house in Hammersmith

Hammersmith is straight up the Fulham Palace Road from our base, and it is part of the same council, Hammersmith and Fulham. The parking rules, the permit zones and the way the council handles bay suspensions are the ones we deal with at home.

Away from the Broadway, Hammersmith is mostly Victorian terraces. The streets around Brook Green, Brackenbury Village and Ravenscourt Park are two- and three-storey houses, some still whole family homes and many divided into flats. Moving house in Hammersmith often means a narrow front path, a bay window in the way and a hallway that a wardrobe has to come through in pieces.

By the river it changes again. St Peter's Square has stucco villas around a garden, Upper and Lower Mall have older houses facing the water, and between Hammersmith Bridge and Fulham there are newer apartment blocks, such as Fulham Reach, with lifts and booked moving slots. Along the Malls the roads are narrow and parking is tight, so we plan where the van stops before the day.

The middle of Hammersmith is built for traffic: the A4 flyover crosses the Broadway gyratory, with the bus station and a cluster of offices around it. It is a busy place to load, so office moves there usually happen in the evening or at the weekend. Shepherd's Bush and the W12 streets to the north are in the same borough, so the same parking rules apply there too.

One local fact affects a lot of moves. Hammersmith Bridge has been closed to motor vehicles since 2019, so a move from Hammersmith to Barnes goes round by Putney Bridge or Chiswick Bridge. We plan the timing with that in mind.

Homes in Hammersmith

Three kinds of home make up most of W6, and each one moves its own way.

  • Victorian terraces

    The terraces around Brook Green, Brackenbury Village and Ravenscourt Park are family houses and upper and lower flats. Hallways are narrow and stairs are steep, so beds and wardrobes come apart and big sofas are measured against the door before the day.

  • Period houses near the river

    St Peter's Square and the Malls have larger period houses over three or four floors, with tall rooms and long stairs. We crate or pad art, mirrors and glass, wrap the furniture in blankets and film, and protect the stairs all the way up.

  • Riverside flats

    The newer blocks between Hammersmith Bridge and Fulham have lifts, a concierge and usually a loading bay you book in advance. Send us the building's moving rules and your slot, and we plan the crew and the loading around them.

Parking on moving day in Hammersmith

Book a bay suspension online, at least eight days ahead.

Hammersmith's residential streets are controlled parking zones, with resident bays down both sides. If there is no room for a van near your door, a bay suspension keeps one free for moving day.

Hammersmith and Fulham Council books suspensions online and asks for at least eight days' notice for up to six bays for up to three days, which covers almost any home move. Not sure how many bays you need? Ask us when you book.

Hammersmith Bridge is closed to vehicles

The bridge has been closed to motor vehicles since April 2019 and is open to people on foot and on bikes. Moves to Barnes cross at Putney Bridge or Chiswick Bridge instead.

    We pack the whole home or just the fragile things, with boxes, paper and film brought to you. Every box is labelled with its room, so a terrace split over two floors unpacks in the right order.

Moving day in Hammersmith

A practical run-through for a move in W6, from booking to the last box.

  1. Book the date and the survey

    3 to 4 weeks before

    Send us both postcodes and the size of your home. A video or in-person survey shows us the stairs, the doors and anything that needs to come apart.

  2. Suspend a bay if you need one

    At least 8 days before

    If there is nowhere for a van outside, apply online to Hammersmith and Fulham Council. One or two bays for the day covers most moves.

  3. Book the lift or loading bay

    The week before

    In a riverside block, book the lift and the loading bay with the concierge. In a converted terrace, let the other flat know the hall will be busy.

  4. Pack the last boxes, clear a path

    The day before

    Keep one box of essentials apart: kettle, chargers, bedding and documents. Clear the hall so furniture can come straight out.

  5. Wrap, load and go

    Moving day

    The crew covers floors and doorframes, wraps furniture in blankets and film, takes beds and wardrobes apart and loads the van in order.

  6. Placed room by room

    At the new home

    Boxes go to the rooms on their labels, and furniture is rebuilt and put where you want it.
