Terraced streets here have no off-street parking and are largely under controlled zones, so the kerb outside your door is likely to be occupied. A suspension through Richmond upon Thames needs at least seven working days' notice.

Riverside lanes are narrow and some are dead ends, which can force a longer carry or a smaller vehicle shuttling to a larger van parked elsewhere.

Mortlake is inside the ULEZ, as all London boroughs now are, so check that the van meets the standard before booking.

The Congestion Charge zone is far to the east and does not apply here.

Terraces are typically two storeys with a loft conversion above, narrow halls and a stair that turns twice. A bay window sometimes offers the only route for a large sofa.

Riverside flats and converted buildings can have restricted access, communal entrances and limited turning space outside, all of which affect how long the job takes.

Mortlake High Street and Sheen Lane are the main routes, and the level crossing by the station holds traffic regularly. Lower Richmond Road and the lanes towards the river are narrow.

Trains through the level crossing are frequent in the peaks, so a start after the morning rush avoids the worst of the queuing. Sundays are quiet, though the Boat Race finish brings road closures and crowds to the riverside for a weekend each spring.
