Parking on moving day in Hampstead
Nothing slows a London move down like nowhere to park the van. Streets here are run by Camden Council. To guarantee space for the van, book a parking suspension:
- Notice: book at least 17 days ahead. Camden may take bookings up to 3 days before, but the space isn’t guaranteed.
- Cost: for a home move there’s no space charge on the first day, for up to 3 spaces in a row. The £66.66 admin charge still applies.
- How: book online with a Camden account, as a resident. You’ll need the van’s registration. We’ll send it on request once your move is booked.

From the team: Hampstead’s hills and narrow lanes need planning. Tell us your street and we’ll choose the van and where it can stop.

London fact
Hampstead has the deepest platforms on the London Underground, 58.5 metres below ground, because the station sits under such a steep hill.
For your move: Those hills matter above ground too. Steep streets and front steps often mean two movers.
