Moving in London: ULEZ, Congestion Charge & Parking
Updated February 2026 · Foundations Removals
Moving in London comes with extra considerations — parking, ULEZ and the Congestion Charge. Here is how they work for removals and how to avoid them landing as surprise charges.
Removal van parking and suspensions
On controlled streets you may need a parking bay suspension so the van can park outside on the day. Councils charge for these and they take a few days to arrange — well worth it to avoid long carries.
Do removal vans pay ULEZ?
ULEZ covers all of Greater London, and non-compliant vans pay a daily charge. Our fleet is ULEZ-compliant, so that cost never lands on your bill. Check any van’s status with our ULEZ checker.
Do removal vans pay the Congestion Charge?
In central London the Congestion Charge applies on weekdays. A reputable remover factors it into your quote upfront rather than adding it on the day.
Avoiding surprise charges
Ask for a fixed quote that states whether ULEZ, congestion and parking are included. With us, they always are — no moving-day surprises.
