The service
European Removals with AFS
European moves are the long end of what we do. The same crew that packs your home loads the vehicle, so nothing is handed between companies at the point where things usually go missing.
Goods in Transit cover applies to a European move in the same way it applies to a move across town.
Council rules
What the council says about moving day in Kensington
Published by the authorities themselves, with a link to each. Rules and fees change, so check the source before you rely on them.

Reserving space outside the property: Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea
The Royal Borough asks for 10 working days' notice to suspend a permit parking bay and two working days for a pay-by-phone bay. Permit-bay applications made five days or fewer before the start date may be considered at the council's discretion, with short-notice charges on top. Applications must arrive before 3pm on a working day, and payment in full is needed before the suspension is approved and signs go up.

ULEZ covers every London borough
The Ultra Low Emission Zone has covered all London boroughs since 29 August 2023. A van that does not meet the ULEZ emissions standard is charged for each day it is driven inside the zone, so ask whichever company you book which vehicle will be used and check it with TfL's vehicle checker. AFS vans meet the ULEZ standard, so no ULEZ charge is added to an AFS quote.
