House Removals Options for London Customers
Need Best Removals London to Dublin Cost?
Moving services in London vary dramatically by borough.
In Kensington and Chelsea, basement flat moves often need crane hire at £400-£600 for items that cannot fit through narrow Victorian stairwells.
Hackney and Islington have Low Traffic Neighbourhoods with ANPR cameras that fine non-exempt vehicles £130 per camera pass.
Greenwich and Lewisham have steep hills where a loaded van needs low gear and engine braking.
Giant Van operates across all of these.
Our drivers know which Hackney LTNs allow removal-van exemptions and which do not.
Each borough has different CPZ hours: Camden starts at 8:30 am, Lambeth at 9 am, and Wandsworth at 10 am in some zones.

House Removals London — FAQs
How do I book a London moving company with Giant Van?
Message us in the live chat or book through giantvan.com. Provide your collection and delivery postcodes, the number of bedrooms, and any access issues (stairs, parking, lifts). Giant Van sends a fixed-price quote within an hour. Once confirmed, a driver is assigned and contacts you the evening before your move to confirm timing and access.
Does Giant Van handle Greater London removals beyond Zone 6?
Giant Van covers all of Greater London including Zones 1-9 and beyond. Outer-London postcodes like Romford (RM), Uxbridge (UB), and Croydon (CR) are included at standard rates. Moves to or from towns just outside the M25 such as Watford, Dartford, and Epsom carry no surcharge. ULEZ compliance means no emission charges anywhere in the London area.
How much do mover services in London cost for a three-bedroom house?
A three-bedroom house removal in London with Giant Van costs from £299 to £499 depending on distance between properties, floor levels, and access. A move from Islington (N1) to Hackney (E8) — approximately 2 miles — costs less than a cross-London move from Walthamstow (E17) to Putney (SW15) at approximately 14 miles.
All quotes are fixed and written before the move date.
Do London removal companies include the Congestion Charge in their price?
Giant Van absorbs the Congestion Charge (£15 per day) on all London bookings — it is never an additional charge. Our ULEZ-compliant fleet also means zero £12.50 ULEZ charges anywhere in Greater London. The price we quote is the price you pay. Not all London removal companies include these charges — always confirm at the point of quotation.
Can Giant Van handle a Kensington and Chelsea basement flat move?
Yes. Kensington and Chelsea basement flat moves are a weekly job for our London teams. Victorian stairwells in this borough often require partial furniture disassembly — we carry the tools.
For items that genuinely cannot pass through the stairwell (rare, but it happens), we arrange crane hire separately at £400 to £600 and include this in the written quote before your move date.
How do I avoid Hackney LTN camera fines when moving in London?
Hackney's Low Traffic Neighbourhood cameras issue automatic £130 penalties for non-exempt vehicles. Giant Van's London drivers use the borough access map to route around LTN zones. Some removal vehicles qualify for an LTN exemption permit — our coordinators know which apply and submit them where applicable.
Always confirm your specific street's LTN status at hackney.gov.uk when planning a move in E5, E8, E9, or N16.
