Parking on moving day in North Finchley
Nothing slows a London move down like nowhere to park the van. Parking for the van is often simpler here than in central London:
- Check your street first. Many residential roads in Barnet sit outside controlled parking zones, so the van can often park outside for free.
- In a controlled zone? Apply to Barnet Council for a parking suspension. Check the current notice period and fees on the council’s page before you book.
- Not sure? Send us your postcode and we’ll tell you what your street needs.
