Man and Van in Westminster
Covering SW1A, SW1H, SW1P in City of Westminster. Government offices, mansion flats and secure buildings around Victoria Street. Fixed price agreed before we start, with the parking, the lift and the access sorted in advance.
Westminster has an unusual mix for central London: a dense band of offices along Victoria Street, mansion flats behind them on Marsham Street and Page Street, and a security perimeter around the parliamentary estate that changes what is possible on any given day.
Most of what we do here is office relocations and flat moves in the residential blocks south of Victoria Street. Both come with building security, so the crew names and the vehicle registration usually have to go in ahead of time. It is not difficult, it just cannot be improvised.
The buildings in Westminster
Inter-war and post-war mansion blocks dominate the residential side, and they are well built for moving: wide staircases, working lifts and a caretaker who knows the building. The Peabody and similar estates around Page Street have their own access arrangements. Closer to Smith Square there are Georgian houses with narrow stairs, and those are slower going.
Parking, loading and access in Westminster
Whitehall, Victoria Street and Millbank are red routes and the streets around Parliament Square carry additional security restriction that can change at short notice. The whole area is inside the Congestion Charge zone. Loading tends to happen on the residential streets behind the main roads, such as Marsham Street, Horseferry Road and Great Peter Street, all of which are Westminster controlled parking. Buildings on the government estate will want details of the vehicle and crew in advance, sometimes several days.

Man and van in Westminster: common questions
My building needs security clearance for contractors. Can you provide details?
Yes. We can supply crew names, vehicle registration and insurance details in whatever format your building security requires. Some government estate buildings want this several working days ahead, so tell us early and we will get it in rather than arriving at a barrier with nothing filed.
Are there days when access around Parliament Square is restricted?
Yes, and it is not always predictable. State occasions, protests and security operations all close roads at short notice. We monitor it for booked jobs in SW1A and will call you the day before if we think the timing should shift.
Do you move offices out of hours here?
Regularly. Victoria Street is difficult during the working day and most managed office buildings prefer moves outside business hours anyway. Evening and weekend slots need booking further ahead.
