Finding good advice on removals in London can be sometimes be difficult.

London has it's own idiosyncrasies such as the congestion charge, numerous one-way streets, pedestrian areas and lots of parking restrictions – all of which can make access difficult and cause additional delays to your move.

This is why Bishop’s Move have put this guide to make removals in London – so you can pre-plan and be prepared.

General Information on London

London is the capital of England and the UK. It is also the largest city in the country, and probably the European Union. The city is also one of the world’s leading financial centres, as well as being strong in the arts, commerce, education, entertainment, fashion, healthcare, media, professional services, research and development, tourism and transport. It is the world’s most visited city (based on International arrivals) and as a result has a diverse range of people and culture. This diversity is proven by the fact that over 300 different languages are spoken within London’s boundaries.

Put simply – there is a lot happening in London every day of the week. But all of this activity can have an impact on your London removal.

Traffic Issues for Removals in London

Invariable if you are moving in London, you will need to use the road networks. In 1986, the M25 around London was completed as part of the “Ringway Plan”, but this is often very busy at peak times. As can the other ring roads – the North and South Circulars. The average speed for a car in London is only 9.3mph.
