Tips for moving in Wandsworth
- Most of Wandsworth is covered by controlled parking zones. Check the hours on your street signs and ask the council about a bay suspension if there is rarely a free space near your door.
- New blocks around Battersea Power Station, Nine Elms and Wandsworth Town often have a concierge, booked goods lifts and set move-in times. Book the lift slot before you book the van.
- The A3 and the Wandsworth one-way system are red routes where vans cannot wait, and the South Circular through Balham and Tooting gets very busy at peak times. Early starts and mid-week dates make the drive quicker.
- Wandsworth is outside the central London Congestion Charge zone, so a move within the borough does not pay it. The ULEZ covers all of London, including Wandsworth.
