Removals in Islington — We Know the Area

Many Islington homes are older houses split into flats, so on most moves the first question is the stairs. Georgian and Victorian terraces around Barnsbury, Canonbury and Highbury often have steep, narrow staircases, tight turns on the landing and no lift, and there are also purpose-built blocks and council estates across the borough. A sofa or wardrobe may have to come apart to get out. If a piece has to, use the Dismantling required and Reassembly required options under Furniture services, and list your large items in the Furniture inventory.

Islington is a compact borough with several postcodes: Angel and Pentonville (N1), Canonbury (N1), Highbury (N5), Holloway (N7), Archway (N19) and Clerkenwell (EC1). Tell us both addresses when you book so the distance and time are right.

The Northern line serves Angel and Archway, the Victoria line and London Overground serve Highbury & Islington, and Holloway Road and Caledonian Road are on the Piccadilly line. Farringdon, in the south of the borough, has Elizabeth line and Thameslink services. The A1 runs through the borough along Upper Street and Holloway Road, so it can be slow at peak times. Choose your moving time with that in mind. Flats above shops often have a separate street door and steep stairs, so mention the floor in the booking notes.

Islington Council deals with parking suspensions. If your street is in a controlled parking zone, ask the council for one ahead of your date and check its current lead times. If the van has to park away from your door, tell us when you book so we can plan the carrying.

A one-bedroom flat in a converted Barnsbury terrace may need only 1 Man if it is on a low floor, but a top-floor flat or a four-storey townhouse is likely to need 2 Men or 3 Men. Pick Not Sure if you would like our advice.
