Moving a home in Notting Hill
Victorian terraces
Tall houses split into flats, with steep stairs and no lifts. We take wide furniture apart and send two movers for big items.
Garden square houses
Larger houses backing onto communal gardens. Long stairs and big rooms, so we size the team to match.
Mews houses
Cobbled lanes where the van often parks at the entrance. We plan for the longer carry.

Parking on moving day in Notting Hill
Nothing slows a London move down like nowhere to park the van. Streets here are run by Kensington and Chelsea Council. To guarantee space for the van, book a parking suspension:
- Notice: 10 working days for resident bays. Weekends and bank holidays don’t count.
- Cost: £82 per space per day, for 1 to 5 days. A space is a marked bay, or 5 metres where there are no bays.
- How: fill in the council’s application form and email it to the suspensions team. Phone applications aren’t accepted.
- Pay first: the suspension is only granted once it’s paid in full.

From the team: Portobello Road market makes Saturdays busy, and roads close for Notting Hill Carnival over the August bank holiday weekend. Avoid moving that weekend if you can.
