Moving house in Wimbledon

Wimbledon is south of our base, over Putney Bridge and past Putney Heath. If you are coming here from a flat in Fulham, Putney or Wandsworth, expect the load to grow with the home: more rooms, a loft, a shed and often a garage.

Wimbledon is really two places. The Village, at the top of the hill by the Common, is the old settlement, with large Victorian and Edwardian houses, some detached, on wide and leafy roads. Down the hill, the town grew up around the station after the railway arrived in 1838, with long streets of terraces and, towards Raynes Park and Merton Park, villas and semi-detached family houses.

Bigger houses mean bigger loads, and the survey is where we find them: a full loft, a garden room, a garage of tools. That sets the size of the van and the crew. Not every SW19 move is a house, though. Many of the large houses around Wimbledon Park were divided into flats after the war, so a move there can just as easily be a first-floor flat with a shared staircase.

Then there is the tennis. For the fortnight of the Championships, around the end of June and the start of July, Merton brings in extra parking restrictions in Wimbledon Village, Wimbledon Park and parts of the town centre. Some roads near the All England Club become no parking for most of the day. If your date is flexible, move outside the fortnight.

The rest of the year, parking is a Merton matter. The town centre and the Village are in controlled parking zones, and Merton can suspend bays or give a yellow line waiver for the van. It asks for ten full working days' notice.

Homes in Wimbledon

Wimbledon's family houses and its Victorian streets are the moves we plan for most here.

  • Family semis and larger houses

    Towards Raynes Park and Merton Park, and up in the Village, the houses are bigger: semi-detached and detached, with gardens, lofts and garages. These are full-day moves with a lot to wrap. We see the loft and the garden on the survey, so the van and the crew are right from the start.

  • Victorian and Edwardian terraces

    In the town and around South Wimbledon, long terraces run off the main roads, some still houses and some split into flats. Hallways are narrow and the stairs are steep, so beds and wardrobes come apart, and the floors and doorframes are covered before anything moves.

Parking on moving day in Wimbledon

Apply at least ten full working days ahead.

Around the town centre and in the Village, most streets are in Merton's controlled parking zones. On the survey we look at what is outside your door at both ends, and tell you whether a suspension is worth it.

Where the van needs a space kept, Merton can suspend a bay or give a yellow line waiver. Apply at least ten full working days before the move, and pay by card when you apply. If you are on the Southfields side of Wimbledon Park, it is Wandsworth's process instead.

SW19 on the Southfields side of Wimbledon Park is in Wandsworth. Wandsworth Council: Apply seven clear working days before the move.

The Championships fortnight

During the Wimbledon Championships, Merton applies extra restrictions in the Village, Wimbledon Park and parts of the town centre, from permit-only roads to no parking at all near the grounds. Read the street signs and the council's list before you book.

Moving services in Wimbledon

Four ways we move people in SW19 and SW20, from our base in Fulham.

  • Removals in Wimbledon

    A full removal for a family house or a flat: a survey by video call or photos, furniture wrapped in blankets and stretch film, beds and wardrobes taken apart and rebuilt, floors and doorframes protected, and everything placed room by room. In a Wimbledon house that includes the loft and the garage.

    More about Removals

  • Man and van in Wimbledon

    One van and one or two movers, booked by the hour. It suits a flat in the town centre, a few pieces into a new garden room, or a collection from a shop or storage. Same-week slots are available across London, Wimbledon included.

    More about Man and Van

  • Packing in Wimbledon

    We pack the whole house or just the fragile things, or drop off double-walled boxes, paper and tape. Every box is labelled by room, and we can unpack on arrival if you want, which helps when there is a family to settle into a bigger home.

    More about Packing

  • Office removals in Wimbledon

    Offices, clinics and shops around Wimbledon Broadway and the Village move in the evening or at the weekend, so you do not lose a working day. IT and files are packed and labelled by desk, with old furniture cleared and recycled.

Moving day in Wimbledon

A practical run-through for a move in SW19 or SW20, 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 survey shows us the loft, the garage and the stairs. Check the date is not in the Championships fortnight.

  2. Suspend a bay or get a waiver

    At least 10 working days before

    If the van cannot stop outside, apply to Merton for a bay suspension or yellow line waiver, ten full working days ahead. Southfields-side streets apply to Wandsworth.

  3. Clear the loft and the shed

    The week before

    Bring down what you can from the loft, empty the shed, and drain the fuel from the mower so it can travel in the van.

  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, the drive and the side gate so furniture can come straight out.

  5. Wrap, load and go

    Moving day

    The crew covers floors and doorframes, wraps the 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, furniture is rebuilt, and we unpack too if you booked it.

Wimbledon moving questions

See all questions

You can, but it is harder. For the fortnight, Merton adds parking restrictions in the Village, Wimbledon Park and parts of the town centre, and the roads near the grounds are busy. If your date is flexible, pick a day outside it.

Most of Wimbledon is in Merton. Streets on the Southfields side of Wimbledon Park share the SW19 postcode but are in Wandsworth, which has its own suspension process and asks for seven clear working days.

At least ten full working days before the suspension starts. Merton can suspend a bay or give a yellow line waiver in a controlled parking zone, and you pay by card when you apply.

Start with a survey at the flat, so the quote is right, and tell us about the new house: the drive, the stairs, where the big pieces go. We can pack at the flat and unpack at the house if you want.

It depends on the size of the home, the loft and garage, the access at both ends and the distance. Send us both postcodes and we will send a detailed quote with no hidden fees.
