Compare removal companies in Putney

Most of Putney falls under controlled parking, and the streets around the station and High Street are full through the working day. A suspension arranged with the council, allowing seven clear working days, is usually the only reliable way to get a van at the door.

Ask which company applies for it and whether the charge is included, since it is a common late addition to an invoice.

The London-wide ULEZ takes in Putney, so a non-compliant vehicle pays the daily charge.

The Congestion Charge zone does not extend this far west. It only becomes relevant if the other end of your move is in central London.

Converted flats in Victorian terraces are the norm, with communal front doors, half-landings and staircases that turn tightly. Riverside blocks usually have lifts but restrict loading to a service entrance. High ceilings help with tall furniture; the front steps rarely do.

Putney Bridge and the High Street are heavily congested, with bus-priority restrictions at peak times. Residential streets off the Lower Richmond Road are narrow once parked.

The bridge and High Street are close to gridlocked during both commuter peaks and busy all weekend, leaving mid-morning to mid-afternoon on a weekday as the workable window.

Rowing events on this stretch of the Thames close riverside roads occasionally, so check the date if you are moving near the towpath.
