Removals across the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham
Best London Removals is based in Ruislip and has been carrying out moves in and out of Hammersmith and Fulham since 2011. The borough sits directly east of our home territory, and it is one of the most varied in West London: Victorian terraced streets in Fulham and Brook Green, busy commercial arterials through Hammersmith, riverside apartments along the Thames, and a growing number of new-build developments around White City and Old Oak Common. CPZ coverage is extensive, and Hammersmith Bridge has been closed or restricted to general traffic for several years, affecting routing and journey planning for every move that crosses the river in this area.
The housing stock ranges from large Victorian and Edwardian terraces and period conversions in Fulham and Parsons Green to mansion blocks in Barons Court and West Kensington, modern riverside flats in Hammersmith, and high-density new-build developments around Shepherd's Bush and White City.

About the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham
Hammersmith and Fulham occupies a distinct stretch of West London between the Thames to the south and the Westway to the north, with Kensington and Chelsea to the east and Chiswick and Ealing to the west. It is a borough of considerable contrasts: the leafy, affluent residential streets of Fulham, Parsons Green, and Brook Green sit alongside the busy commercial and entertainment hub of Hammersmith, the diverse and energetic neighbourhood of Shepherd’s Bush, and the rapidly changing areas around White City and Old Oak Common where major regeneration is underway.
Fulham is the largest residential area in the borough, both in terms of population and character. The streets around Parsons Green, Munster Road, and Eel Brook Common are predominantly Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing, many of which have been extended and refurbished into substantial family homes. The proximity to the Thames gives the area a desirable riverside dimension, and the streets between Fulham Road and the Embankment include some of West London’s most sought-after addresses. Bishops Park, running along the river from Putney Bridge to Craven Cottage, is one of the finest riverside parks in London.
Hammersmith itself is defined by its role as a transport interchange and commercial centre. The Broadway is one of the busiest junctions in West London, served by four Underground lines, and the area has historically attracted global businesses to its office stock. The riverside in Hammersmith, between Hammersmith Bridge and Chiswick Bridge, has a quieter and more residential character, with converted warehouses and purpose-built riverside flats alongside traditional pubs on the towpath. Hammersmith Bridge has been closed to motor traffic for extended periods since 2019, significantly affecting routing across the river in this part of London.
Shepherd’s Bush, centred on the Green and the market, is one of the most diverse and lively neighbourhoods in the borough. Westfield London, one of Europe’s largest urban shopping centres, transformed the area significantly after its opening, and the White City development around the former BBC Television Centre has brought substantial new residential and commercial development. Further north, Old Oak Common is the site of the HS2 and Elizabeth line interchange, and a major regeneration area that will significantly increase residential density over the coming decade.
The borough is exceptionally well-connected. The District, Piccadilly, Hammersmith & City, Circle, Central, and Overground lines all serve stations within its boundaries. Road access via the A4, A315, and M4 connects the borough directly to the West End, Heathrow, and the wider motorway network.
Areas we cover in Hammersmith and Fulham
We cover the whole London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham. Below are the neighbourhoods we move in most regularly, with a note on typical property types and the access or parking considerations in each.
Fulham (SW6)
Fulham is the dominant residential area in the borough, with a large stock of Victorian and Edwardian terraced houses, period conversions, and some of the most sought-after streets in West London. Properties here tend to be generous in size, and move volumes are typically substantial. The streets between New King's Road and the Embankment are particularly popular and tend to involve larger household contents, high-value furniture, and careful packing requirements. CPZ coverage is comprehensive throughout Fulham, and parking suspensions are required on virtually every residential street.
Hammersmith (W6)
Marylebone has become one of the most desirable residential areas in central London, with Georgian terraces, Victorian mansion blocks, and a village-like high street that attracts a professional and family population. Moves here frequently involve well-established, higher-volume households relocating within the area or from other parts of London. CPZ coverage is extensive, and parking suspensions are required on most residential streets. Some roads have timed loading restrictions that need to be checked against your specific move window. Access conditions vary; wider Georgian streets are generally more manageable, while some narrower side streets require a smaller vehicle.
Parsons Green (SW6)
Parsons Green is one of Fulham's most desirable sub-areas, centred on the Green itself and the streets radiating out from it. Victorian terraced houses and some larger semi-detached properties are the dominant property type. The area has a high owner-occupier rate, and move volumes are typically high.
Parking on the residential streets is permit-controlled, and suspensions are required for most moves. Access to properties on the narrower side streets can require a smaller vehicle, which we confirm at the survey stage.
Shepherd's Bush (W12)
Shepherd's Bush covers a wide range of property types, from Victorian terraces and mansion block conversions in the older streets to new-build apartments in the Westfield and White City developments. The Green and the market area are busy, and loading access on the main roads is restricted. Residential side streets are generally manageable, and CPZ coverage applies throughout. The Shepherd's Bush Overground and Underground stations make the area very well-connected for tenancy moves and shorter relocations.
Barons Court (W14)
Barons Court is a quiet, predominantly residential area defined by its Edwardian mansion blocks and garden squares. The flat moves here typically involve shared goods lifts, restricted access corridors, and building management booking requirements. The resident must arrange goods lift access and any loading bay allocation directly with their building management team before moving day. Management teams deal with leaseholders and tenants, not removal contractors. We advise on what to request and how much notice to allow.
The streets here are generally well-proportioned, and parking access is more manageable than in some denser parts of the borough.
West Kensington (W14)
West Kensington overlaps with both LBHF and the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea in terms of character and property type. The area has a mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian mansion blocks, and some later conversions. It is well-connected via the District line at West Kensington station and has a high density of rented flats, which means a consistently high volume of tenancy changeover moves throughout the year. CPZ coverage applies on most residential streets, and suspensions are required in the majority of cases.
Brook Green (W6)
Brook Green is one of the most pleasant and residential corners of Hammersmith and Fulham, centred on the long narrow green that gives the area its name. The streets here have Victorian terraced housing on a human scale, with good access and generally manageable parking conditions compared to the denser parts of the borough. Move volumes are typically modest to medium, and the properties tend to be well-maintained period terraced houses and conversion flats. The area has a quieter feel than the surrounding parts of Hammersmith and is popular with families.
Sands End
Sands End occupies the south-western corner of the borough, between Fulham and the Thames. The area has undergone significant change over recent decades, with older industrial sites replaced by riverside residential developments alongside the original terraced streets. Some of the newer developments along the Embankment have goods lift systems and loading bay protocols that the resident must arrange with the building management team in advance. The older terraced streets are generally straightforward to access, and the area overall is quieter and less CPZ-pressured than central Fulham.
White City (W12)
White City has been transformed by the development of the BBC Television Centre site and surrounding land into a substantial new residential quarter. New-build apartment buildings here have their own loading bay systems and goods lift protocols that the resident must arrange with the building management team before moving day. Management companies deal with leaseholders and tenants, not removal contractors. We advise on what to request and how much notice to allow when you book. The area is well-served by the Central line at White City and Wood Lane stations.
Walham Green (SW6)
Walham Green is the area around Fulham Broadway station, blending residential streets with the busy commercial activity of Fulham Road. The housing here is a mix of Victorian terraced houses, mansion block conversions, and more recent purpose-built flats. The proximity to Fulham Broadway means the area sees consistently busy traffic, and loading on the main roads requires a suspension or dispensation. Side street access is generally good, and the area has a high volume of tenancy moves given the number of rental flats in the vicinity.
Moving in Hammersmith and Fulham: what to know before your move day
Parking and CPZ suspensions in LBHF
The London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham has extensive CPZ coverage across its residential streets, and parking suspensions are required for the majority of moves in the borough. LBHF Council requires a minimum of eight working days’ notice for a suspension application. The bay fee is £48 per bay per day. There is no administration fee. We strongly advise booking your move date and submitting the suspension application as early as possible to avoid any risk of a refused or delayed application.
For one Maxi Mover van, we require two standard bays directly outside the property. For two vans, three bays. We advise on the specific requirements for your street when you book and can apply on your behalf if you prefer, with the council fee passed on at cost.
All Best London Removals vehicles are fully ULEZ and LEZ compliant. No emissions charges apply to our fleet.
Full details for LBHF parking suspensions are on our parking suspension guide.
Property access and building considerations
Mansion block goods lifts in Barons Court and West Kensington often have restricted dimensions, weight limits, and booking systems managed by the building’s managing agent. The resident must arrange goods lift access and any loading bay allocation directly with their management company before moving day. Management teams deal with leaseholders and tenants, not removal contractors. We advise on what to request and how much notice to allow.
New-build loading bays in White City and Sands End riverside developments follow the same principle. The resident must book the loading bay time slot and any goods lift access in advance with the building management team. We confirm these requirements when you book and advise on exactly what to request.
Period terraced houses in Fulham and Brook Green typically have narrow hallways and steep staircases. We assess carry distances, staircase dimensions, and access at the survey stage and size the team accordingly.

Man and van hourly rates
Not every move needs a full-scale operation. If you are moving a small flat, collecting furniture, or handling a straightforward load you have packed yourself, our man and van service is the most cost-effective option. All prices below include VAT at 20%.
Driver only
our minimum charge
2 Men team
our minimum charge
3 Men team
our minimum charge
The minimum charge is a fixed fee that secures your team and vehicle for the time shown; it is not an hourly calculation, so if the job finishes early, the price remains the same. If the move runs longer, extra time is charged at the hourly rate above. The crew will keep you informed throughout, so there are no surprises.
Understanding removal costs is only part of the picture.
How a company structures its quote, what it includes in the hourly rate, whether it surveys the job before pricing it, and how it handles London-specific logistics like parking suspensions and goods lift bookings, all affect the final figure as much as the rate itself.
If you want the fuller context before deciding, our guide to choosing a removal company in London covers fixed pricing, hourly bookings, surveys, access planning, and the questions worth asking before you confirm.

How much does a full home or office removal in Hammersmith and Fulham cost?
Full home and office removals are quoted at a fixed price after we assess your property. The assessment takes place either as a home visit or a video survey, whichever is more convenient, and covers the volume of your belongings, access at both addresses, parking requirements, and whether packing is needed. The price you are given is the price you pay, with no changes on the day. See the pricing section above for indicative ranges by property size.
How is man and van pricing different?
Man and van is priced on an hourly basis and is suited to smaller, self-packed moves, a studio in Barons Court, a single item from Parsons Green, or a tenancy changeover in Shepherd’s Bush you have already prepared. You choose your team size and the hourly rate applies from the moment we arrive. For a full guide to team sizes and current rates, see the man and van section above.
Do you cover all areas within Hammersmith and Fulham?
Yes. We cover the entire London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, including Fulham, Hammersmith, Parsons Green, Shepherd’s Bush, Barons Court, West Kensington, Brook Green, Sands End, White City, and Walham Green. If you are unsure whether your specific road or postcode is covered, call us and we will confirm.
Do you move people out of Hammersmith and Fulham to other parts of London or the UK?
Yes. We handle moves from LBHF to any other London borough, as well as long-distance moves to other UK cities and regions. The same process applies: pre-move assessment, fixed written quote, professional packing if needed, and careful transport. Contact us with your destination, and we will confirm what is involved.
Can you help with parking suspensions in Hammersmith and Fulham?
Yes. Parking suspensions are required on the majority of residential streets in the borough. LBHF Council requires a minimum of eight working days’ notice, and the bay fee is £48 per bay per day. There is no administration fee. We can apply on your behalf if you prefer, with the council fee added to your invoice at cost.
Do you help with packing and furniture dismantling?
Yes, as part of a full removal service. We offer full or partial packing, fragile-only if you prefer to pack most things yourself, plus dismantling and reassembly of beds, wardrobes, and other large furniture. Packing is quoted and included in your fixed price; it is not added on afterwards.
Does Hammersmith Bridge affect my move?
It can. Hammersmith Bridge has been closed or restricted to motor vehicles for extended periods since 2019. If your move involves properties on both sides of the river in this area, we plan the route using Putney Bridge or Chelsea Bridge and factor the additional distance into the timing. We check the bridge status at the time of booking and plan accordingly.
How do you handle moves in mansion blocks or buildings with goods lifts?
You will need to arrange the removal access directly with your building management company before moving day. They deal with residents and leaseholders, not removal contractors. They will specify the permitted hours, which lift to use, and whether a loading bay needs to be booked. When you book with us, we will tell you exactly what to request and how much notice to allow, so everything is confirmed well in advance.
Can you handle antiques, fine art, or high-value items?
Yes. We regularly handle moves involving antiques, fine art, designer furniture, and other high-value possessions. We use specialist wrapping materials and experienced handling for all delicate or valuable items. Let us know at the survey stage if you have specific concerns about particular pieces.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. We carry comprehensive goods-in-transit and public liability insurance on every move, regardless of job size. Cover applies during handling, loading, transport, and unloading. If you have high-value or particularly fragile items, let us know in advance so we can plan appropriate packing and handling.
Can you help if my move date changes at short notice?
Yes. Call us as soon as you know, and we will do everything we can to accommodate the new date. If a parking suspension has already been submitted to the LBHF Council, we will advise you on the options and whether a new application is needed.

Quick tips for moving day
Ask for a free pre-move visit
We can visit your property in advance or conduct a video survey to assess the volume of your move, plan the right team and vehicle, and estimate packing materials. We will also check access, stairwells, and parking, which is especially important for larger homes in Fulham and Parsons Green, and for mansion block flats in Barons Court and West Kensington.
Book your suspension as early as possible
LBHF requires eight working days' notice for a parking suspension. Apply as soon as your move date is confirmed to avoid any risk of a late application. If your date changes, let us know and we will advise on what needs to be resubmitted.
Confirm building access before moving day
If you are moving in or out of a mansion block, a new-build development, or any building with a concierge or managing agent, contact your building management team as early as possible to book the removal window, lift access, and any loading bay allocation. They will only deal with you directly, not with the removal company.
Prepare your appliances
Defrost the fridge freezer at least 24 hours before moving day, drain the washing machine, and secure any loose shelves or glass panels. This prevents leaks or damage during transport and avoids delays on the morning.
Pack a first-night bag
Set aside a bag with overnight essentials, toiletries, chargers, medication, keys, and basic kitchen items, before packing begins. Keep it with you on moving day so you are not searching through boxes at the end of a long day.
Do a final walkthrough
Before the van leaves, walk through every room, cupboard, and storage space. LBHF properties, particularly period terraced houses with understairs storage and basement rooms, often have more storage than you remember on a busy day. A five-minute walkthrough avoids the cost and inconvenience of a return trip.
