Tips for moving in Lambeth
- Most Lambeth streets are inside controlled parking zones, so the van needs a legal space close to your door. If parking is tight, ask the council about a parking bay suspension a week or two before moving day.
- Kennington, Vauxhall and Stockwell have many council estates, mansion blocks and new towers around Nine Elms. Check whether there is a lift, whether it needs booking, and where the loading bay or goods entrance is.
- Brixton Road, Kennington Road and the roads around Vauxhall Cross are busy red routes where vans cannot wait. Plan where the van will stop if your home is on or just off one of them.
- Waterloo and the South Bank sit inside the central London Congestion Charge zone, while Kennington, Brixton, Clapham and Streatham are outside it. The ULEZ covers all of London, including every part of Lambeth.
