Moving to Ealing: Complete Guide 2026

Giant Van covers Ealing in full, including Ealing Broadway, West Ealing, Pitshanger, Northfields, Hanwell, Acton, Greenford, Perivale and Southall. Every one of those areas is served by the same crews and the same fixed pricing, so the address you are moving to does not change how the quote is built.

The parts of Ealing where a removal van needs planning rather than luck: Ealing Broadway centre, Edwardian villa streets and Low traffic neighbourhood streets. Send the address when you book and the crew will pick a legal loading position and work out the carry from there before the day.

The rules to read before you fix a Ealing date: Ultra Low Emission Zone, Low traffic neighbourhoods and Controlled parking zones. Each one is set locally, and each can change where a van waits or which route it takes.

Ealing housing stock: Edwardian villas and mansion blocks, 1930s semi-detached houses, Converted period flats and New-build apartments around the Elizabeth line. Doorway widths, stair turns and lift access differ sharply between those types, which is why we ask what you are leaving and what you are arriving at.

Ealing is oriented around Ealing Studios, Walpole Park and Pitzhanger Manor, Ealing Broadway station, Hanwell Flight locks and Gunnersbury Park. The nearest towns are Acton, Brentford, Hounslow, Wembley, Chiswick and Uxbridge, and we run moves between all of them.

Ealing covers the W5, W13, W7, UB1 and UB6 postcode areas. Give the full postcode at both ends when you book — it is what sets the route, the mileage and the access notes the crew reads before setting off.

Ealing Council. Register for council tax as soon as you move in, check the collection day for your street, and apply through the same council if you need a parking bay suspended for the van.

Watch the school run: Ealing has school streets that close to traffic at drop-off and pick-up. A mid-morning start avoids both windows. Mansion block lifts are small: Period mansion blocks around the Broadway often have a lift too small for a sofa. Say which floor you are on so the crew plans a stair carry.

Mid-week and mid-month dates have the widest choice of slots. Whatever date you pick, an early start gives the crew the best chance of a legal parking position before Ealing streets fill for the day.
