📅 Published Nov 3, 2025
Planning a move in London? You’re not alone — with its vibrant neighbourhoods, busy streets, and ever-changing skyline, London is one of the most exciting (and challenging) cities to move around in. At Qaswa Logistics, we’ve helped lots of Londoners relocate smoothly. Here’s what you should know before your move.
1. Timing Is Everything
Traffic in London can be unpredictable, especially during rush hour. Try scheduling your move early in the morning or midweek, when roads are quieter. Our local team knows the best routes and timings to make your move as efficient as possible.
2. Parking and Access
Many London boroughs require parking permits or temporary suspension requests for removal vans. Check with your local council ahead of time — or let Qaswa Logistics handle it for you. We’ll ensure everything is arranged so your move runs without delays.
3. Know Your Building Rules
If you’re moving into an apartment or managed building, ask about lift access, moving hours, or loading bays. These small details can save valuable time on moving day.
4. Get to Know Your New Neighbourhood
Once the boxes are unpacked, explore local amenities — parks, schools, transport links, and shops. Moving in London isn’t just about changing address; it’s about becoming part of a community.
