Warehouse flats, new-build towers and Victorian estates. Hackney waives the bay fee on day one for a home move.
In short: Laid Back Removals moves homes in Shoreditch and Hoxton from our base in Marylebone. Homes here are mostly warehouse conversions, new-build towers with concierges and Victorian estates. Most streets are run by Hackney Council, which asks for 7 working days’ notice for a parking suspension. The eastern edge of Shoreditch is in Tower Hamlets.
