Moving – is one of life’s top five most stressful events. Want to know what can make the moving day even more stressful? Moving within London. Why? Well, there’s the traffic, the busy roads, the parking restrictions and its complex and vast size and the traffic! That’s right. We said traffic twice because there is so very, very much of it.
Seriously, it’s enough to raise anyone’s blood pressure! If you live in central London, we are sure this is all familiar to you, and you might be debating whether you can handle the move yourself with a hire van. Let’s look at a few good reasons why a London Removal is more complicated than you think.
Navigating unfamiliar roads
If you fancy yourself as an honorary white van man or one-man removal hero, imagine picking up a hire van for your London removal and then trying to navigate unfamiliar streets in a strange and large vehicle! Let’s be honest. London is vast and while you might be confident in Ford Focus or your Peugeot 306, driving a van is a whole different kettle of fish.
It has a complex system of narrow roads, so if you’ve got anyone other than an experienced London removal expert driving the van on removal day, we wish you good luck! It’s easy to get lost or enter a congestion zone unintentionally. M25’s team of London removal people know London’s complex road system like the back of our hands – if a road is closed, we will know a way around the problem to ensure you get the van where it should be without delay to help your London removal go smoothly.
Parking is a nightmare
Are you moving within central London? Parking a hefty London removal van as close to your new pad as physically possible is a skill in itself. There will be restrictions and time zones and possibly charges; its a massive headache for anyone unfamiliar with the local parking rules. Ahead of moving day, parking needs to be carefully coordinated and, where possible, arranged/negotiated with neighbours or the council in advance. If you fail to plan parking for your London removal in a busy area, you could find yourself in trouble and potentially have to move your goods a lot further than you thought if you can’t park outside.
If you are moving within the capital, having a team on your side with local metropolitan knowledge and a fleet of vans suitable for navigating even the tightest of London streets is a must. M25 offer a London removal service that is second to none. Contact us to find out more about our fantastic removal services.
