Prime Central London: Mayfair, Belgravia, Knightsbridge, St James’s, Pimlico and Victoria
Edward Miles plans house moves around the access and timing requirements of each property. Loading restrictions, parking suspensions and building management arrangements can affect when a vehicle can arrive and how long the team has to complete the work.
Before moving day, we establish which permissions and bookings are needed and agree who will arrange them. Please flag any porter or concierge requirements, restricted entrances or mews access during your survey, so these can be considered alongside packing and transport.
Kensington and Chelsea: The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, including Kensington, South Kensington, Chelsea, Holland Park and Notting Hill, plus neighbouring Fulham and Hammersmith
Properties across these areas can present very different moving conditions, from townhouses with several flights of stairs to mansion flats with shared entrances and compact lifts. Assessing doorways, landings and staircase turns helps us determine how larger items can be moved safely and whether furniture needs dismantling.
During packing, we select protection suited to each item, with specialist wrapping and bespoke crating available for delicate artwork, antiques and fine furniture where required. Let us know about particularly valuable or awkward pieces during the survey, so their handling can be planned before moving day.
Marylebone and North-west London: Marylebone, Fitzrovia, Paddington, Maida Vale and St John’s Wood
Access to mansion flats and apartment buildings may depend on agreed moving hours, lift reservations and rules for using communal spaces. Even where parking is available nearby, the route from the vehicle to your front door can affect the time and equipment needed.
Our team plans around the confirmed arrangements, including any requirements for protecting shared hallways or keeping entrances clear. For house moves, we also assess driveway access, steps and the position of larger furniture, helping us prepare for both collection and delivery.
