London · useful local detail
Use the guidance that applies to the actual street or building. A rule from one borough should not be used as permission somewhere else.
Loading bays on red routes have their own signed hours and limits. Goods should be ready; the bay is not a place to wait while a move is being prepared.
Your next step Check the sign at the exact bay and have the load ready.
TfL · loading for the public (opens in a new tab)The borough controls its own application process. Westminster, for example, asks for ten working days’ notice for a bay suspension.
Your next step Find the council for each postcode and check whether a suspension is needed.
Westminster · bay suspensions (opens in a new tab)Concierge desks, service lifts and private loading spaces can have their own booking arrangements. Street permission does not reserve a building’s loading bay.
Your next step Ask the building manager about vehicle access and a lift or delivery slot.
Inventory, crew, carrying access and the collection window all help describe the job. A short drive can still involve several flights of stairs.
Your next step Enter both addresses and the full inventory, select the floor or lift at each end, and add loading or building instructions in Driver notes.

Good to know
No. Check the road authority and building arrangements at both addresses. TfL red routes, borough streets and private estates can require different checks.
Build a complete inventory so the service can match the load to a suitable vehicle. If a permit or building needs dimensions or a registration number, contact support before arranging it.
Contact support as soon as you know. Changes to the access or moving help can affect the plan and price. Check building arrangements before booking to reduce this risk.
