We work across the Square Mile, from the Barbican and Smithfield to Bank, Aldgate and the riverside, moving offices, homes and stock 7 days a week.
Office moves in the City
Most of our City work is for businesses: moving a small office to a new floor or building, taking furniture and equipment into storage, or delivering stock and exhibition stands. City buildings usually have a loading bay with booked slots and a goods lift, and many prefer moves outside working hours. We work evenings and weekends, so the office can stay open during the week.
The congestion charge
The whole of the City is inside the congestion charge zone. If your job runs during charging hours, the congestion charge is added to your bill. It is the only extra we ever add, and there are no fuel or mileage charges. Moving outside charging hours can avoid it, and we will tell you when you book.
Barbican and City flats
People do live in the City, mainly in the Barbican and Golden Lane estates and the newer blocks around Aldgate. Estate moves usually need booking with the estate office, with set times for using the lifts and the car park. Tell us which block you are in and we will work to its rules.

Getting ready for moving day
- Book the loading bay and goods lift with building management, and check whether moves have to happen out of hours.
- For an office move, label each desk’s boxes with the desk number at the new office so everything goes straight to the right place.
- If you can, book outside congestion charge hours to avoid the charge.
