Get a fixed price for Borough

Borough Market shapes everything within a few streets of it. Delivery traffic starts early, the streets around Stoney Street and Park Street are congested through the day, and the railway arches limit where a taller van can go at all. Moving here means working with that rather than around it.

Beyond the market it is ordinary inner London residential: conversions on Borough High Street, estate blocks towards Great Dover Street, and warehouse flats in the converted buildings between them.

The buildings in Borough

Flats above commercial units on and around Borough High Street, reached by narrow street door staircases. Warehouse conversions with shared goods lifts. Post-war estate blocks with proper lifts towards Great Dover Street. The railway arches and viaducts running through the area mean some streets have height restrictions that a Luton will not clear.

Parking, loading and access in Borough

Borough sits inside the Congestion Charge zone. Borough High Street is a red route. Southwark controls the parking. Market delivery traffic makes the streets immediately around Stoney Street and Park Street effectively unusable during trading hours. Several routes pass under railway arches with height limits, so vehicle choice matters here more than in most of SE1. We check the approach for anything larger than a transit.

Man and van in Borough: common questions

Can you move near Borough Market during the day?

On the surrounding streets yes, immediately around it not really. Market delivery traffic takes the road space from early morning through trading. For addresses on Stoney Street or Park Street we would suggest a very early start or a day the market is quieter.

There are low railway arches on my street. Does that matter?

It decides the vehicle. Several approaches in SE1 pass under arches that a Luton will not clear. Tell us the address and we will check the route and bring a van that fits rather than reversing back out.

Is Borough in the Congestion Charge zone?

Yes. This part of SE1 is inside the zone and the charge is built into the quoted price.
