With the hourly Man and Van rate, crews have the flexibility to do any last minute packing, additional pick ups, trips to recycling, sofas through windows, etc. We are also able to provide a house clearance service, taking items to charity shops or recycling.

Parking SW7
Most of the roads around SW7 are controlled parking, and either parking suspensions or dispensations are required. For larger Removals in SW7 a parking suspension is a necessity. The suspension has to be booked up to 14 working days in advance of the required date. These are booked with your local council online. For smaller SW7 removals, using vans, we can load and unload for short periods on single yellow lines. Otherwise a dispensation would need to be booked, if we are packing and SW7 flat moving.
A Little Bit About SW7
The SW postcode district was originally created as part of the London Postal District in 1857. In 1868 some of the areas of the abolished S district were added. The postal district of SW7 covers South Kensington and parts of Knightsbridge. The local authority covering these areas is Hammersmith and Fulham.
The area of South Kensington was largely undeveloped until the mid-19th century being an agricultural area supplying London with fruit and vegetables. The main roads established in the 1700’s are still recognisable today. Much of the building in the area occurred in Georgian and Recency periods of the early-middle 1800s, with the construction of Alexander Square, Pelham and Egerton Crescents, Thurloe Square and Onslow Gardens. Following the 1851 Great Exhibition in Hyde Park, an 87-acre area around what is now Exhibition Road was purchased by the commissioners of the exhibition, in order to create a home for institutions dedicated to the arts and sciences resulting in the foundation of the museums and university here.
The name Knightsbridge came from the reference to the crossing of the River Westbourne that was known as Knight’s Bridge, which is now an underground river. Knightsbridge was originally a small hamlet or locality outside the City of London, between the villages of Chelsea (Chelsey), Kensington (Kensing town) and Charing. In the time of Edward I, the manor of Knightsbridge appertained to the abbey of Westminster.
