Moving into St Albans
St Albans is well connected by the A-road network, and moves between here and London rarely need more than one day.
Before moving day, check whether your new street in St Albans 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.
If you are leaving a flat, check with your managing agent about lift bookings, loading bay times and any rules on moving hours.
