Removal company covering all 33 London boroughs

London removals: the challenges and how we manage them

London is the most complex city in the UK to carry out a removal. Restricted parking zones, congestion charging, ultra-low emission zones, high-rise residential blocks with strict lift booking requirements, narrow Victorian streets and the sheer density of activity across the capital all make London removals significantly more demanding than moves elsewhere in the South East.

Relokates has been carrying out removals across all 33 London boroughs for years. We understand the specific challenges of each area: parking permit requirements in Hackney, loading bay restrictions in the City, lift booking systems in Tower Hamlets, narrow streets in Notting Hill and access challenges in riverside properties in Southwark. This is not knowledge from a map. It is knowledge built from hundreds of London moves.

Parking suspensions across London

Without a parking suspension, a removal vehicle may have to park far from your property, turning a straightforward move into an exhausting long-carry exercise. We apply for parking suspensions on behalf of all our London clients where one is required. We know the application requirements, lead times and fees of all 33 London borough councils and handle the entire process. Most councils require a minimum of 5 to 10 working days notice: book your removal early.

ULEZ and congestion charging

Our removal vehicles are ULEZ compliant. The congestion charge is factored into our London move quotes where applicable. You will never receive a surprise invoice for a foreseeable charge we failed to account for.
