Our House Removals Approach to London Roads
London's streets create unique challenges on moving day.
Giant Van accounts for every one of them so you do not have to.
The Congestion Charge Zone covers central London from 07:00 to 18:00, Monday to Friday, and from 12:00 to 18:00 on weekends.
We factor this charge into your quote upfront. The Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) now covers all London boroughs. All Giant Van vehicles are ULEZ-compliant, so there are no surprise penalty charges passed to you.
Controlled Parking Zones (CPZs) operate in most inner London boroughs including Camden, Islington, Southwark, and Lambeth.
We advise customers to apply for a temporary suspension of bay parking permits through their local council at least five working days before moving day. This reserves kerbside space directly outside your property for the removal vehicle.
Many properties in inner London, particularly Victorian and Edwardian terraces in areas like Clapham, Stoke Newington, and Peckham, have narrow roads and no off-street parking.
Our drivers are experienced in working within these constraints. We carry ramps and hump dollies that allow us to move furniture efficiently even where vehicle access is limited.
In areas such as Mayfair, Belgravia, and the City of London, additional permits or timed access windows may apply.
We liaise with building managers and local authorities on your behalf to keep the move on schedule.
London House Removal Pricing
Our pricing covers all standard house removals across London. A one-bedroom flat costs between £250 and £400. A two-bedroom property ranges from £400 to £600. A three-bedroom home is priced between £550 and £850. All prices include the removal crew, vehicle, fuel, and goods-in-transit insurance. The Congestion Charge and any parking suspension costs are itemised separately in your quote.
Packing is available as an add-on from £150. Piano removals start at £150 for an upright and £300 for a grand piano. Storage is available from £15 per week if you need a gap between moving out and moving in.
All prices include a fully insured crew, van, and moving blankets. Packing services available as add-ons.
Work Out Your Moving CostGetting Ready for House Removals in London
Follow these steps to avoid the most common problems.
London is one of the busiest property markets in the UK. Removal slots in popular months, particularly April to September, fill up three to four weeks in advance. Early booking also gives you time to arrange parking suspensions.
Inner London boroughs charge between £50 and £150 for a five-day suspension. Apply at least five working days before your move date. Without this, your removal vehicle may have to park far from your front door, which slows the job significantly.
If your move involves the central zone, schedule loading before 07:00 to avoid the charge window, or factor the cost into your budget. Giant Van can advise on the best approach for your specific route.
The fewer items you move, the lower your quote. Charity shops in Chiswick, Dalston, and Tooting are happy to collect bulky furniture. Selling items via local Facebook groups is also practical and quick.
London flats often have stairs and no lifts. Clear labelling helps our crew place items directly into the correct room, saving time and reducing handling. Add a "fragile" label to anything breakable to ensure careful placement throughout the move.

When Is the Best Time to Move?
UK moving demand follows seasonal patterns. Off-peak months typically offer lower prices and more crew availability.
Scheduling Tips for House Removals in London
London's property market and road network both follow predictable patterns that are worth planning around.
End-of-month dates are consistently the most in-demand, as most property completions happen on the last Friday of the month. Booking at least three weeks ahead during these months is strongly recommended.
If your timeline is flexible, a winter move typically means easier parking, less demand for removal slots, and the same high-quality service at no extra cost.
In London, 07:30 to 09:30 and 16:30 to 18:30 bring significantly heavier traffic on all major routes. If your move involves crossing central London, early morning starts before 07:00 are the most efficient. Our crew can begin loading as early as you need.
If you are moving to or from these areas, allow extra booking lead time.
Friday is the most popular completion day in London, which means higher demand and busier roads. Saturday slots are available but book up quickly in summer.
