London Removals Costs

London moving prices vary depending on distance, property size, access, packing needs and whether storage is required.

1-Bed London removals – £300–£500

A 1-bed flat move is usually the quickest and most straightforward, making it the most affordable option. Costs can rise if there are stairs, restricted parking, or a high volume of items, but most moves are completed within a few hours.

2-Bed London move – £400–£700

Moving a 2-bed home generally requires a larger team and vehicle to handle extra furniture and belongings. Prices depend on how easy the property is to access and whether dismantling or packing is needed.

3-Bed London move – £700–£950

A 3-bed home involves more rooms, bulkier items and longer loading/unloading times. Costs increase when specialist handling is required, or if the move spans a longer distance across London.

Packing Service – £150–£350

Packing services vary depending on the amount of belongings and whether full-house or partial packing is required. Professional packers save time and ensure fragile items are protected with the right materials.

Storage – from £20/week

Storage is ideal if you’re between homes or need temporary space during renovations. Prices depend on the unit size and length of stay, but weekly options keep it flexible and cost-effective.

Moving to London – Key Things to Know

London is one of the world’s most dynamic cities, but relocating here comes with unique logistical challenges that many people don’t anticipate. From complex traffic systems and ultra-busy streets to strict parking rules and varying local council regulations, moving in London requires planning, timing, and expertise.

Traffic in London

London traffic is unlike anywhere else in the UK. Peak congestion levels, frequent roadworks and narrow residential streets mean timing is everything. Here’s what you need to know:

  • Peak hours can add 30–60 minutes to your journey. Rush hour traffic in zones 1–3 is particularly heavy between 7:30–10 am and 4–7 pm.

  • The Congestion Charge (CCZ) applies in central London from Monday to Sunday. If your route passes through this zone, additional fees may apply.

  • The Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) covers most of Greater London. Vehicles must meet emissions standards or pay a daily charge.

  • Road closures and planned works are extremely common, especially near bridges, high streets and station areas.

  • Our team uses real-time navigation, alternative routes, and non-peak scheduling to ensure a smooth, efficient move.

    Parking in London

    Parking is one of the biggest challenges when moving within London. Most roads are controlled by restrictions, requiring permits, loading permissions, or temporary suspensions. Without proper planning, movers may be forced to park far from your property — increasing time and inconvenience.

    Key things to know about parking during a London move:

    • Most London boroughs require parking suspensions for moving vans, especially in controlled parking zones (CPZs).

    • You must apply several days in advance, and prices vary by council — some £30, some over £100 per space per day.

    • Double yellow lines, narrow streets and red routes often prohibit loading, even for short periods.

    • Some flats and estates have limited or height-restricted access, so careful vehicle selection is essential.

    Flat Moves in London – Specialist Approach

    London flats often mean tight stairs, no lifts and limited access. Our removal men are trained to handle these challenges quickly and safely.

    • Skilled with narrow staircases & small entrances

    • Careful protection of walls, floors & communal areas

    • Fast loading/unloading for busy London buildings

    • Ideal for studio, 1-bed and 2-bed flat moves

    From top-floor conversions to modern high-rises, we make London flat moves smooth and stress-free.
