Much of the area is covered by controls, though the hours and the exact boundaries vary street by street.

Suspensions are arranged through Lewisham Council and want at least five working days' notice. On the hill streets, where the van stands matters more than usual, since a long carry uphill adds time to the job and cost to the quote.

Brockley sits inside Greater London and therefore inside the ULEZ. Non-compliant vans pay a daily charge, which usually ends up in the price somewhere, so confirm the vehicle's status when comparing quotes. The central Congestion Charge zone is well to the north and does not apply.

Converted villas mean a shared front door, a communal hall and a flat over one or two floors, often with the original staircase and its tight turn on the half-landing. A bay window is frequently the only route for a large sofa. Conservation area status applies in parts, restricting what can be fixed outside during a lift.

Brockley Road and Lewisham Way carry the through traffic. Residential streets are wide but parked on both sides, and several rise steeply from the main roads.

The main roads towards New Cross and Lewisham are slow through both peaks, and residential streets are at their fullest overnight and early morning. Starting once commuters have gone usually frees enough kerb to work with.
