Kerbside space is generally available on residential roads, and restrictions are lighter than in inner London. A suspension is seldom necessary, though it is worth checking with the council if your street is close to the station.

Drives and garage frontages usually let a van park within a few metres of the door, which keeps carry times and labour costs down.

Emissions charging reaches Sutton as it does the rest of the capital, so the daily fee applies to any van that falls short of the standard. Reputable firms have compliant vehicles.

Charging in the central zone does not extend this far south.
