W1 is one moving guide, with the full address doing the detail.
This guide covers W1 and its lettered districts for home moves and furniture collections. Tell us the full postcode, building number and entrance. Soho, Mayfair, Marylebone and Fitzrovia are useful orientation names, but they do not specify where belongings can reach a van.
For a flat above other premises, identify the residential entrance and every floor used by the load. If collection is from a shop or managed building, ask for the approved release point and time. A public reception or street-facing door may be different from the service entrance used for furniture.
W1 is a postal grouping, not one set of council or building rules. Check who controls the actual street and any private loading area. In particular, use the relevant authority for the address rather than assuming every W1 location is dealt with by the same council.
Soho and Fitzrovia: agree the entrance and time window.
For a Soho or Fitzrovia enquiry, explain whether items are in a room, a complete flat or a seller's premises. Give the collection contact, building access and any delivery slot supplied by the property manager. Confirm the instructions for the actual date rather than reusing a past collection arrangement.
If the flat has stairs, describe narrow turns and landings and give dimensions and known weights for bulky pieces. A short road journey does not make the carrying straightforward. Tell us if you cannot assist so the proposed crew does not depend on your lifting help.
For a shared property, label which belongings are yours and which stay. Count boxes and list separate furniture. Packing help, taking a bed apart or assembling furniture later should be requested in the enquiry so the plan reflects more than transport alone.
Mayfair and Marylebone: distinguish loading from waiting.
For a Mayfair or Marylebone home, give the full property address even when the enquiry uses a W1 area name; nearby addresses may have other postcode prefixes. Ask about porter or managing-agent arrangements, lift dimensions and where a van is actually permitted to load.
Westminster's published guidance distinguishes active loading from waiting and sets conditions that depend on location and vehicle. Check the actual signs and any loading ban. Do not assume a suspension is always required, or that an empty space is automatically available for the move.
For a shop purchase, confirm dimensions, known weight and packaging with the seller. Explain any fragile or unusual item before booking. A central London address does not establish specialist art, antique or piano handling; suitability and any applicable cover need discussion for the actual belongings.
Make the enquiry specific to your move.
Send the inventory, full postcodes, date and access at both ends. Include dimensions and known weights for awkward furniture, and say if you cannot help with carrying. Ticking this checklist does not send an enquiry.
Removals run seven days a week, 8am–8pm. Card and bank transfer are accepted. Hire and reward insurance is held; goods in transit cover is available at extra cost, with applicable terms to confirm.

Your moving questions, answered.
Can I request a move from W1D, W1K or W1U?
Yes. This W1 guide includes the lettered W1 districts. Send the full postcode, item list, date and access details so the actual journey, availability and assistance can be confirmed.
Does every W1 address have the same loading rules?
No. Check the street's responsible authority, current signs and any private building arrangements. Postal districts do not establish a single parking permission or loading exemption.
Can you quote for a W1 flat above shops?
Give the actual entrance, floors, stair turns or lift dimensions, inventory and loading position. Confirm the collection contact and any building time window, plus the same access details at delivery.
How much is the van and moving help?
Van and driver only starts from £60/hour with no loading or unloading help. One mover and a van starts from £80/hour, two movers and a van from £95/hour. The suitable vehicle, assistance, minimum booking and complete quote must be agreed for the actual load, route and access.
Can I add packing or furniture work?
Packing, materials, furniture disassembly and assembly can be requested and need to be assessed and agreed. Packing materials require advance notice. These tasks are not automatic additions to loading help.
Is a quote a confirmed booking?
No. The proposed service, availability and price must be agreed before the booking is confirmed. Removals run seven days a week, 8am to 8pm.
