Choose the slot that protects the stop
In Canary Wharf, the when to move is usually the window that gives the van the clearest place to work. Moves are smoother when building management, lift slots and van access are all locked in early, and that matters more than shaving a few minutes off the drive.
Why local timing changes the workload
A move that starts before the street tightens up can run in one steady cycle. The same booking can become a stop-start job once bays fill, school traffic builds or building access slips. In Canary Wharf, timing affects handling quality as much as traffic speed.
How to pick the cleaner window
Match the booking time to the best loading period, the cleanest building access window and any key handover or lift arrangement. That is the difference between a move that flows and one that spends half the job waiting for conditions to improve.
