In the newer developments, parking is managed by the estate: there is usually a loading bay and a service lift, both of which have to be booked, sometimes well ahead. Ask the managing agent what the process is before agreeing a date.

On the older streets, controlled zones apply in places and a suspension is requested through Newham Council with at least ten working days' notice.

Stratford falls inside the ULEZ along with the rest of London, so vehicles have to meet the emissions standard or the daily charge applies. Confirm this when comparing quotes. The Congestion Charge zone is confined to central London and does not reach Stratford.

New-build flats have lifts and level access but often long corridors, tight lift cars and strict rules on protecting communal finishes. Victorian terraces bring narrow halls, straight stairs and no off-street parking. The two types call for different crew sizes and different amounts of time.

Stratford High Street and Great Eastern Road are congested for much of the day, and the roads around the shopping centre and the park are shaped by one-way systems and restricted turns.

Traffic here rarely drops away completely, but mid-morning and early afternoon are the calmer periods. Weekends bring heavy shopping traffic around the centre, and stadium event days make the surrounding roads difficult. Check what is on at the park before fixing a date.
