Parking on moving day in Hackney Wick & Homerton
Nothing slows a London move down like nowhere to park the van. Streets here are run by Hackney Council. To guarantee space for the van, book a parking suspension:
- Notice: 7 working days. The day you apply, weekends and bank holidays don’t count.
- Cost: a £93.50 admin fee. For a home move, bay fees for up to 3 bays are waived on day one, so a one-day move costs £93.50. Extra days are £41 per space.
- Late? Applying inside 7 working days adds £150, if the council accepts it.
