Arriving in London

The ULEZ covers almost all of Greater London, and the Congestion Charge applies in the centre on weekdays. For your Lancaster move, any zone charges are built into the fixed price.

Check your street's parking rules early. Most London boroughs can suspend a bay for moving day if you apply around ten working days ahead.

For flats with lifts or concierge desks, let the building know your moving date and ask whether the lift needs to be reserved.

Leaving Lancaster

Most North West moves run up the M6, and we plan departures to avoid the busiest stretches around Birmingham.

When leaving Lancaster, give your utility suppliers and council at least a week's notice, and tell us about any access issues such as steep drives, steps or no parking outside.
