Quick answer
Looking for Central London removals?
Central London is where a move is decided by the kerb, not the mileage. Every district has its own rules: Westminster, Camden, Islington and the Royal Borough each issue their own parking suspensions, half the postcodes sit inside the Congestion Charge zone, and most flats and offices come with a porter or building manager who sets the lift slot. Giga Removals plans Central London moves in that order: the bay, the lift, then the crew. We cover Westminster, Kensington, Chelsea, Mayfair, Marylebone, Holborn, the City and everything between, and move people from Central London to anywhere in the UK.
Suspensions, porters and goods lifts planned first. Email postcodes, floor levels, parking notes and photos of bulky items. We will tell you the right van and crew before you book.

How we plan Central London moves
Moving in Central London. We sort it before the van sets off.
A Central London quote is mostly about where the van stops: a suspended bay at the door is a two-hour job, a yellow line 80 metres away is a four-hour one. Send a photo of the kerb outside both addresses and we price the real carry.
Porter notice periods, lift slots, protection rules, insurance requests and move windows all change the plan. Forward whatever the building sent you and we fit the crew to it before confirming.
The Congestion Charge boundary runs along Park Lane, Grosvenor Place and Vauxhall Bridge Road in the west and Pentonville Road and City Road in the north. We check both addresses and confirm how the charge is handled on the quote.
Westminster City Council, Camden, Islington and RBKC all issue their own bay suspensions. We tell you which council owns your bay and what to apply for.
AccessWestminster SW1, Mayfair, Soho, Holborn, Bloomsbury, Marylebone and the City are inside the zone; Kensington, Chelsea, Belgravia, Knightsbridge and Pimlico are outside. We say which on the quote, never on the day.
AccessMansion blocks and office towers set the lift slot, the protection they expect and usually the hours. We send proof of cover ahead and arrive in the window.
AccessSoho, Covent Garden, the City and Victoria are easiest before 9am or at the weekend. We propose the start time with the quote rather than fighting the traffic.
