How should I organise a move in West London?
Build the plan around the inventory, access and key handover at both addresses. Arrange any permissions and building slots before relying on a particular loading window. Then confirm the vehicle, help and arrival details for that plan.
Local arrangements to check
Check Ealing’s application notice early, and use separate forms for separate streets. Confirm the council’s decision before relying on the loading arrangement. Ealing’s process is an example for Ealing-controlled bays; other West London boroughs and TfL have separate arrangements. Read Ealing parking suspension applications for the current instructions.
Apply this to your address
West London is not a single parking authority. Use Ealing’s process only for its controlled bays, and check the appropriate borough, TfL or private operator for each other address and loading entrance. See TfL loading on red routes.
Work through the move in this order
- Before booking: list the load, measure difficult items and describe both access routes.
- Once the date is known: arrange necessary street permissions and building slots, checking their actual lead times.
- Before arrival: finish packing, label rooms, keep essential items separate and confirm keys and contacts.
- On the day: check the loading position and tell the team about changes before work starts.
There is no universal booking lead time that guarantees availability. Use the council’s actual notice rules and your building’s arrangements, then check availability for your move details and date.
