Choosing a moving company London residents can rely on starts with knowing what the job involves: a moving company in London plans, packs and moves your home or office with an insured crew, and the price depends far more on access and volume than on distance.
What does it cost in 2026? Removals company quotes gathered by Which? in May 2026 for a move within London came to about £540 for a one-bedroom ground floor flat, £779 for a two-bedroom house, £1,409 for three bedrooms and £1,553 for four, before packing. Full packing adds several hundred pounds more.
London adds its own charges. A council parking suspension keeps a bay free for the van, the ULEZ costs £12.50 a day for non-compliant vans, and the Congestion Charge rose to £18 a day on 2 January 2026. A clear quote states who arranges and pays each one.
Why is London different? The ONS Census 2021 found that 54% of London households live in a flat or maisonette, so stairs, small lifts and building rules shape most moves.
Red flags to avoid: a price given without a list of your belongings, no written quote, no named Goods in Transit insurance, a large cash deposit, and extras that only appear when you ask. A firm that removes furniture should be on the Environment Agency public register of waste carriers.
