Quick answer
How much do Fitzrovia removals cost?
Fitzrovia is media offices on Charlotte Street and Great Portland Street, flats above the restaurants, student halls near UCLH and the Howard de Walden streets towards Marylebone, with Tottenham Court Road closed to vans for most of the day. We plan W1T moves from the side streets, early, with Camden or Westminster suspensions depending on which side of Cleveland Street you live.
Fitzrovia removals are agencies on Charlotte Street, flats above the restaurants, student halls near UCLH and Howard de Walden terraces toward Marylebone, with Tottenham Court Road closed to vans through the working day.
We plan the stop on Charlotte Street, Goodge Street or Whitfield Street, tell you whether Camden or Westminster owns your bay, crate IT separately for the agencies and start early.
Email postcodes, floor levels, parking notes and photos of bulky items. We will tell you the right van and crew before you book.
- No ULEZ charge: it is never added to your bill.
- Access: we check Fitzrovia road width and parking rules before the day.
- Bay suspensions: Bays here are run by London Borough of Camden and Westminster City Council (the border is Cleveland Street). We tell you which one to suspend and for how long, so the van is at the door.
- Congestion Charge: The address sits inside the Congestion Charge zone. We confirm on the quote how the charge is handled, so nothing is added on the day.
- Prices: published hourly rates, whole-hour booking. Stairs are £10 per person per flight per hour and shown in the quote, never added on the day.
Local knowledge
Moving in Fitzrovia: what changes the job
The address sits inside the Congestion Charge zone. We confirm on the quote how the charge is handled, so nothing is added on the day.
Tottenham Court Road is buses and cycles only through the working day and Euston Road is a red route, so Fitzrovia moves run from the grid between them: Charlotte Street, Goodge Street, Whitfield Street and Cleveland Street. We plan the stop on a timed or suspended bay there and start early.
Cleveland Street is the border, with Camden to the east and Westminster to the west. A suspension comes from whichever council owns your bay, and their forms and lead times differ. We tell you which one to apply to.
Charlotte Street, Rathbone Place and Great Portland Street hold agencies, production companies and architects in period buildings with narrow stairs and the odd small goods lift. We crate IT separately, label to the new floor plan and work evenings or weekends so the street is clear.
Fitzrovia homes are flats above the Charlotte Street restaurants, the Peabody and Camden estates off Cleveland Street and student halls near UCLH and UCL. There are more stairs than lifts, ambulance routes to keep clear round the hospital and the Congestion Charge zone around all of it, and the quote says how that is handled.

It depends on your street: Cleveland Street divides Camden to the east from Westminster to the west. We tell you which council owns your bay and what to ask for, so the suspension is in the right place on the right day.
Not during the working day, as it is buses and cycles only. We plan the stop on a side street such as Charlotte Street, Goodge Street or Whitfield Street and propose an early start so the van is in before the area fills.
Yes, all year and especially in September and June. We move single rooms into halls and shared flats round Fitzrovia and Bloomsbury, and boxes into summer storage. Send the hall name so we can check its loading slot before booking.
A small van with a driver is £55/hr, with a 2-hour minimum (£110). The same van with two people is £75/hr (2-hour minimum, £150), and a Luton with three people is £130/hr (3-hour minimum, £390). You book whole hours, and if the job overruns the extra time is billed in 30-minute steps. Mileage is charged one way, from collection to delivery, and stairs are £10 per person per flight per hour. There is no weekend, evening, bank holiday or ULEZ premium and no deposit. How long it takes depends on your items, the walk from the van at W1T, and the stairs or lifts. We plan the stop on Charlotte Street, Goodge Street or Whitfield Street, tell you whether Camden or Westminster owns your bay, crate IT separately for the agencies and start early. Email both postcodes and some photos and we price it.
Yes. Walk-ups, conversions and lift blocks across Fitzrovia and Bloomsbury are all part of the job, and we staff the crew for the number of flights. Stairs cost £10 per person on the crew, per flight, for each hour at that address. A floor counts as 2 flights, the ground floor is free, and a working lift removes the charge. It is written into the quote so nothing is added on the day. Photos of the stair turns, your sofa and the parking help us see whether anything has to come apart.
By the hour at the published rates. You book whole hours, at least 2 for a small van and 3 for a Luton, and any overrun is billed in 30-minute steps. Mileage is charged one way and stairs are charged per flight. Send photos, a list of items, both postcodes, floor levels and parking notes, and we reply with the van, the crew and how many hours to book. A move towards Bloomsbury, or anywhere else in the UK, is priced the same way.
Yes: full packing, kitchen-only packing or fragile wrapping, with materials and room labels. A one-bedroom home is £400 and a two-bedroom home £600, labour and materials included. Many people pack their clothes themselves and leave the breakables to us. Send a few photos of the rooms and we suggest the lightest option that still protects your glass, mirrors and kitchen things.
Yes. Every booking carries £10,000 goods in transit cover, with blankets and straps for furniture. Mention valuable or very fragile items before collection. If your landlord or building manager in Fitzrovia wants proof of cover, we send it once the booking is confirmed.
