Local knowledge
Moving in Islington: what changes the job
The address sits on the edge of the Congestion Charge zone, so we check which side the van will stop on and confirm it on the quote.
Upper Street and Holloway Road form the A1 red route, so a van cannot stop on them for a move. We work from side streets in Barnsbury and Canonbury and say whether an Islington suspension is worth applying for.
Much of Islington is filtered by bollards and camera gates, so the obvious route to your door is often shut to vans. We plan the approach street by street beforehand so the crew is not driving in circles.
Terraces in Barnsbury and Canonbury run to four floors with a narrow top flight, while the estates around Caledonian Road and Essex Road have lift towers and gated courtyards. Tell us which you have and we staff the job for the stairs.
