Man and Van in Farringdon

Covering EC1M, EC1N, EC4A in Islington and City of London. Offices, apartments and jewellery trade units around Hatton Garden. Fixed price agreed before we start, with the parking, the lift and the access sorted in advance.

Farringdon changed considerably when the Elizabeth line arrived, and the building stock changed with it. New office and residential developments went up around the station, and they come with modern loading bays and goods lifts. The older streets kept their character and their difficulties.

Hatton Garden gives the area a job type you do not get elsewhere. Jewellery trade units move within the same few streets, security requirements are unusual, and access to individual buildings is tightly controlled. Those moves need arranging with the building rather than just booked.

The buildings in Farringdon

A mix that skews commercial. New apartment blocks around the station have concierge and service lifts. Warehouse conversions towards Clerkenwell have shared goods lifts. The Georgian and Victorian buildings on Hatton Garden and Leather Lane have flats and workshops on upper floors reached by narrow staircases and controlled entry doors.

Parking, loading and access in Farringdon

Farringdon sits inside the Congestion Charge zone. Farringdon Road and Charterhouse Street carry restriction and the streets around the station are busy through the day. The area straddles Islington and the City of London, so the parking authority depends on the address. Leather Lane has a street market on weekdays which restricts vehicle access. Hatton Garden buildings frequently have security controlled entry that has to be arranged in advance.

Man and van in Farringdon: common questions

Can you move a Hatton Garden trade unit?

Yes, with the building's cooperation. Security arrangements here are stricter than anywhere else in EC1 and access has to be agreed in advance, sometimes with named crew. Put us in touch with your building manager and we will arrange it properly rather than turning up and being refused entry.

Leather Lane market is outside my door. When can you load?

Before the stalls go up or after they come down. The market runs on weekdays and restricts vehicle access along the lane for most of the day. Early morning is usually the cleanest option, and a weekend is easier still.

Which council do I deal with here?

Islington for most EC1M and EC1N addresses, the City of London as you move south and east towards EC4A. We check before applying for anything, because the two have different processes and lead times.
