Before moving day, check whether your new street in Wakefield has parking restrictions, and let us know about narrow roads, steps or long carries so we bring the right vehicle.
Leaving London
The ULEZ covers almost all of Greater London, and the Congestion Charge applies in the centre on weekdays. For your Wakefield move, any zone charges are built into the fixed price.
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.
