Moving into Canterbury

Canterbury is within easy reach of London, so even larger moves are usually completed comfortably in one day.

Before moving day, check whether your new street in Canterbury has parking restrictions, and let us know about narrow roads, steps or long carries so we bring the right vehicle.

Leaving London

London's ULEZ and Congestion Charge can add cost to a move, so we price them in from the start rather than adding them on the day.

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.
