About Bayswater
Bayswater occupies the north-western edge of Hyde Park, sitting within the City of Westminster and bordered by Notting Hill to the west, Paddington to the north, and Kensington Gardens and Knightsbridge to the south. It is one of the most cosmopolitan and internationally flavoured residential areas in central London, with a long history of attracting residents from across Europe, the Middle East, and beyond, drawn by its central location, its grand Victorian architecture, and the proximity of Hyde Park.
The architecture is the defining feature of the area. The streets around Lancaster Gate, Leinster Gardens, and Westbourne Terrace are lined with the tall white-stucco-fronted terraced houses that define the Victorian streetscape of this part of London. Most have been divided into flats over the decades, creating the mansion blocks, lateral conversions, and garden flats that make up the majority of Bayswater’s residential stock today. The buildings are large, the ceilings are high, and the properties are well-proportioned by central London standards, though access via narrow hallways, external basement stairs, and shared goods lifts is a consistent feature.
Queensway is the commercial spine of Bayswater, running north to south through the centre of the area with a mix of supermarkets, restaurants, and independent shops that serve the international community and reflect the area’s multicultural character. Westbourne Grove, running east to west along the northern boundary, connects Bayswater with Notting Hill and has a more boutique and residential character. The garden squares — Cleveland Square, Leinster Square, and the surrounding streets — provide quiet residential pockets within easy reach of all the activity.
Paddington Station, a short walk to the north, offers Elizabeth line, Heathrow Express, and national rail connections, making Bayswater exceptionally well-connected for its central location. The Bayswater, Queensway, and Lancaster Gate Underground stations, between them, serve the Central, District, and Circle lines.
W2 postcodes covered: W2 1, W2 2, W2 3, W2 4, W2 5, W2 6, and the surrounding Westminster area.

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.

How much does a home or office move in Bayswater 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, 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 near Paddington, a single item from Queensway, or a tenancy changeover you have already prepared.
You choose your team size, and the hourly rate applies from the moment we arrive. See the man and van section above for current rates.
Do I need a parking suspension for a move in Bayswater?
On the vast majority of Bayswater streets, yes. The area has near-total CPZ coverage, and suspensions are required on virtually every residential street. Westminster Council requires a minimum of ten working days’ notice, and the bay fee is £51 to £55 per bay per day.
Applications submitted with less than 5 working days’ notice incur a surcharge of £357. We strongly advise applying as early as possible. We can apply on your behalf if you prefer, with the council fee added to your invoice at cost.
How do you handle moves in portered or concierge-managed buildings?
Moving in or out of a portered or concierge-managed building requires careful coordination to ensure a smooth transition. Unlike standard residential moves, these buildings often have strict protocols regarding access, timings, and vehicle placement.
You will need to contact your building concierge or management company directly before moving day to book the move in or out. They deal exclusively with residents and leaseholders rather than removal contractors. During this contact, they will confirm:
Permitted hours: Many London developments restrict removals to specific windows (e.g., 9:00 am to 4:00 pm).
Lift access: Managers often need to “pad” the service lift or reserve a specific lift for your exclusive use.
Loading bays: We need to know if a dedicated bay must be reserved or if we need to arrange a parking suspension through the local council.
When you book with us, we will tell you exactly what to ask for and how much notice to allow. We can also provide the necessary Public Liability Insurance (PLI) that building managers frequently require before allowing contractors on-site.
Can you do a pre-move survey before giving a quote?
Yes, and we recommend it for larger or more complex moves. We can visit your property in advance or conduct a video survey to assess the volume, plan the right team and vehicle, and check access, lift dimensions, and parking. It is free and takes under an hour.
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.
Can you handle moves involving antiques or high-value items?
Yes. We regularly move antiques, fine art, and high-value possessions across Bayswater and the wider Westminster area. Our team uses specialist export-grade wrapping materials to ensure delicate items are fully protected.
Please let us know at the survey stage if you have specific concerns about particular pieces so we can arrange bespoke packing or additional insurance cover as required.
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.

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 mansion block flats on Lancaster Gate and portered buildings on Queensway where lift and loading bay access needs confirming before moving day.
Book your parking suspension early
Westminster Council requires ten working days' notice for a parking suspension, and the bay fee is £51 to £55 per bay per day. Applications submitted with fewer than five working days attract a £357 surcharge. Apply as soon as your move date is confirmed. We can handle the application on your behalf if you prefer.
Declutter before you pack
Moving is the best opportunity you will get to clear out what you no longer need. Go through each room before packing begins and set aside anything you want to donate, sell, or dispose of. Charity shops, Facebook Marketplace, and local selling groups are all straightforward options. Fewer items mean fewer boxes, a smaller van, less time on the day, and a lower quote. It also means you are not paying to move things you will throw away at the other end.
Confirm building access before moving day
If you are moving in or out of a portered building or a mansion block with a managed goods lift, 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.
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.
