Moving into Leicester

Leicester sits close to the M1 and A1 corridors, which gives reliable journey times for a same-day move.

Before moving day, check whether your new street in Leicester 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.

Parking is often the hardest part of a London move. If your street has permit bays or yellow lines, a borough parking suspension keeps space free for the lorry on moving day.

Leaving a London flat for Leicester? Many blocks have set moving hours and lift bookings, so check with your managing agent early.
