Moving a home in Mayfair
Mansion blocks and townhouses
Red-brick blocks and tall Georgian townhouses, often with a porter, set move-in hours and small lifts. Big furniture usually goes by the stairs, so we plan for two movers.
Modern and serviced apartments
Larger lifts, but loading bays and lift slots are booked through the concierge. Book those first, then book us.
Mews houses
Quiet cobbled lanes behind the main streets. The van often waits at the mews entrance, so we allow for a longer carry.

From the team: Mayfair’s streets are narrow and busy with deliveries from mid-morning. Early starts make for a calmer move.

London fact
Mayfair is named after the May Fair, held here every spring until the 1700s.
For your move: The fair is long gone, but the parking fees aren’t. Westminster charges £51 to £55 per bay for the first day, so the suspension gets planned early.
