- No ULEZ charge: it is never added to your bill.
- Access: we check Holborn road width and parking rules before the day.
- Bay suspensions: Bays here are run by London Borough of Camden. 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 Holborn: 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.
High Holborn is a red route and Kingsway is bus-heavy with limited stopping, so office moves normally run from a building's own loading bay or a suspended bay on a side street issued by Camden. We ask the building manager for the bay rules before we quote.
Lincoln's Inn and Gray's Inn have gated entrances, their own porters and strict vehicle hours. Moving a set of chambers means archive boxes, confidential files and a schedule agreed with the Inn's staff. We have the crates and the patience for it.
Holborn has more residents than it looks: mansion flats on Red Lion Square, conversions on Lamb's Conduit Street and student halls near Theobalds Road. These are walk-ups and small lifts with resident bays outside, so the suspension-first rule applies again.
All of Holborn is inside the Congestion Charge zone. The quote says how the charge is handled, and we run as much as we can outside peak traffic, which also suits building managers who want the move done quietly.
