Quick answer
How much does flat removals cost in Fitzrovia?
Flats are conversions above the Charlotte Street restaurants, estate blocks off Cleveland Street, mansion flats towards Great Portland Street and student halls. Lifts are small or missing and the street outside is a timed bay. We size the crew from the stairs and plan the stop before the quote.
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.

Most flat moves use a 2-person crew at £75/hr (2-hour minimum, £150). A studio or light one-bed with a working lift stays close to that. Walk-ups, long corridors or heavy sofas add hours. Driver only is £55/hr (2-hour minimum, £110) when your boxes are packed and you mostly need the van. You book whole hours and overrun is billed in 30-minute steps. Stairs are £10 per person per flight per hour, and a working lift removes that charge. Email the floor level, lift notes, parking distance and photos. Flats are conversions above the Charlotte Street restaurants, estate blocks off Cleveland Street, mansion flats towards Great Portland Street and student halls. Send postcodes, floor levels and photos and we confirm the plan before you book.
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.
Yes, walk-ups are among the commonest flat jobs we do. We agree the crew size before you book so it matches the stairs. Stairs are £10 per person per flight for each hour at that address (a floor counts as 2 flights), and a working lift removes the charge. It is written into the quote, so nothing is added on the day. Photos of the stairs, the sofa and any tight corners help. If something will not fit, we can take it apart or, for some sofas, hoist it (£150 to £280). Flats are conversions above the Charlotte Street restaurants, estate blocks off Cleveland Street, mansion flats towards Great Portland Street and student halls. Send postcodes, floor levels and photos and we confirm the plan before you book.
Usually the resident or building manager does, because the rules belong to the block. We tell you what to ask for: the length of the slot, the arrival window, proof of cover and notes on the loading bay. Once it is booked we plan the crew around that window. Tell us early about concierge notice and quiet hours. If the building wants paperwork, we send our cover details with the booking confirmation.
