Moving in London? Here's what makes it tricky
Greater London moves have a few quirks that catch people out, especially if you're coming from outside the city.
Parking restrictions and narrow streets can turn a straightforward job into a logistics puzzle, particularly in older boroughs. Lift access (or the lack of it) in flats adds time that's easy to underestimate when booking a slot.
Then there's the gap between leaving one property and getting keys to the next. That's exactly why we offer flexible storage, insured and available for as long as you need it, whether that's a few days or a few months.
We also cover specific postal areas like CM16, IG7, IG9 and IG10, alongside the wider Greater London patch, so we know the local access issues before we turn up on the day.
Full packing service if you want one less thing to think about, and we'll always leave your essentials (kettle, cutlery, keys) out on the side so you're not digging through boxes for a cup of tea.
