In short: Laid Back Removals is based in Marylebone, W1, and moves people in, out of and around the area regularly. Marylebone homes are mostly mansion block flats, Georgian terraces and mews houses, often with small lifts or none. Streets are run by Westminster City Council, which needs 10 working days’ notice for a parking suspension.
Moving a Marylebone home
Mansion blocks
Red-brick blocks with grand staircases and small, old lifts. Getting a sofa out is like getting through Bond Street station at 6pm: easy if you plan the route, a nightmare if you don’t. Sofas and wardrobes usually go by the stairs, so we plan for two movers. Many blocks have a porter and set move-in hours.
Georgian terraces
Tall houses split into flats, with steep, narrow stairs to the top floors. We take wide furniture apart and protect the banisters where needed.
Mews houses
Cobbled lanes behind the main streets. The van often parks at the mews entrance, so we allow time for a longer carry.
Modern apartments
Larger lifts, but often booked slots and loading bays. Ask the concierge before you book us.
