Skip to contentIf you are moving in London and need to park a removal van outside your property, you will likely need a parking suspension. Here is everything you need to know.
A parking suspension temporarily removes the parking restrictions on a specific section of road, allowing a removal van to park legally outside your property. They are arranged through your local council.
Costs vary by borough but typically range from £35-£65 per day. Some councils charge per bay suspended. Check with your specific borough for exact costs.
Most London councils require at least 5 working days notice. Some popular boroughs like Westminster and Kensington require up to 10 working days. Always book as early as possible.
You need to contact the council for the borough where parking needs to be suspended. For moves within London you may need two suspensions – one at the collection address and one at the delivery address if they are in different boroughs.
If you cannot get a suspension in time, the removal team will park as close as possible and use trolleys and equipment to minimise the distance. This may add time to your move.
We can advise on the process and provide the information councils require such as the vehicle registration and dimensions. The suspension itself must be applied for by the property owner or occupier.
