Moving in London: parking, CPZ, ULEZ & congestion — sorted

London moves come with costs other cities don't — parking suspensions, controlled parking zones, ULEZ and the congestion charge. EasyMove prices all of them into one fixed quote, so nothing is billed on the day.

The London jargon, explained

Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ)On-street parking limited to permit holders during set hours — affects where a van can load.
Parking bay suspensionA borough booking that reserves a bay for loading; some large-vehicle moves need one.
ULEZ / Clean Air ZoneA daily charge for older, higher-emission vehicles entering the zone.
Congestion chargeA daily charge for driving in central London during charging hours.

How EasyMove handles it

When you get a London quote, we factor in the likely parking situation, ULEZ and congestion charge, and any suspension needed to load safely. That all sits inside your fixed price under Price Lock — so a tricky CPZ or a central-London postcode won't change what you pay.

London moving — FAQs

Do I need a parking permit or suspension for a man and van in London?

For many London moves a parking bay suspension makes loading far easier, and some boroughs require one for a large vehicle. With EasyMove, any parking, permit or suspension cost is priced into your quote — you are never billed for it on the day.

Does a man and van in London charge extra for ULEZ or the congestion charge?

Not with EasyMove. ULEZ, Clean Air Zone and the London congestion charge are all included in your fixed price under Price Lock, so nothing is added afterwards.

What is a CPZ and does it affect my move?

A Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ) restricts on-street parking to permit holders during set hours. It can affect where the van can load or unload. EasyMove factors local parking rules into the quote so your price does not change because of them.
