Parking on moving day in Kentish Town
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.
