Man and Van in Hoxton
Covering N1 in Hackney. Estate blocks, canal-side conversions and artist studios around Hoxton Square. Fixed price agreed before we start, with the parking, the lift and the access sorted in advance.
Hoxton is more residential than its neighbour to the south and the moves reflect it. Estate blocks around Hoxton Street and Nuttall Street, canal-side conversions towards Regent's Canal, and the terraces off Kingsland Road make up most of the work.
Access is generally better than Shoreditch. The estates have lifts and open ground level access, and the streets are wider. The exceptions are the older terraces and the artist studios in converted units, where the stairs are the whole story.
The buildings in Hoxton
Post-war estate blocks with working lifts and wide corridors form a large share, and they are quick to move in. Canal-side conversions have better access than their Shoreditch equivalents. Victorian terraces off Kingsland Road are converted flats with narrow stairs. Artist and maker studios in converted commercial units vary enormously and are worth describing when you book.
Parking, loading and access in Hoxton
Hoxton sits outside the Congestion Charge zone. Kingsland Road and Old Street are the restricted routes. Hackney controls the parking and operates controlled zones across the area with permit bays that are busy on weekdays. Estate roads allow loading but enforce against standing. The canal towpath is not a vehicle route, so canal-side addresses are reached from the street side, which can mean a longer carry than the address suggests.

Man and van in Hoxton: common questions
My flat backs onto the canal. Can you park behind it?
No, the towpath is not a vehicle route. Canal-side addresses are always loaded from the street side, and depending on the building that can be a longer walk than the address suggests. We check the layout when quoting so the carry is in the price.
Do you move artist studios?
Yes. Studio moves in converted units are common in N1 and the access varies wildly between buildings. Tell us the floor, whether there is a lift and roughly what is in there, particularly anything large, wet or fragile, and we will bring the right crew.
Is Hoxton inside the Congestion Charge zone?
No, it sits outside. Only the leg of your move that enters the zone attracts the charge, and it is already included in the quoted price.
