Tips for moving in Camden
- Parking: Camden has controlled parking zones across the borough. Apply to Camden Council for a parking bay suspension in good time if you need space outside the door.
- Stairs and lifts: many homes in Kentish Town, Kilburn and Hampstead are converted Victorian houses with narrow stairs and no lift. Tell us the floor and measure large items so we can plan the carry.
- Traffic and red routes: Euston Road and Finchley Road are red routes, and Camden Town gets very busy at weekends around the market. A morning slot is usually easier.
- Congestion Charge and ULEZ: the southern part of Camden, south of Euston Road, including Bloomsbury, Holborn and Fitzrovia, is inside the Congestion Charge zone. Camden Town, Kentish Town, Hampstead and Kilburn are outside it. The ULEZ covers all of London.
