A local driver who knows the brand-new Barking Riverside towers, the goods lifts and loading bays, and the 2022 Overground station serving them.
Barking Riverside is the borough's newest neighbourhood, a vast riverside development rising on former industrial land along the Thames in IG11. Thousands of brand-new flats and houses have gone up here, served since 2022 by the Barking Riverside Overground station at the end of the Gospel Oak to Barking line, plus a river bus pier on the Thames. It's a place of fresh apartment blocks, communal courtyards, marshalled deliveries and concierge desks, a complete contrast to the borough's older cottage streets.
The moves here are different from Barking's Victorian terraces: a first move into a new one- or two-bed apartment off Renwick Road, a flat shifted between blocks, a delivery carried up to a riverside flat, or a young family arriving from elsewhere in east London. You get one vetted driver from loading bay to door, full goods-in-transit cover on the contents, and the reassurance of our 5.0 Google rating. The rate is fixed no matter which block you're in: £30 per hour plus £1.50 per mile, a £50 minimum and no hidden fees, with no Congestion Charge and no ULEZ surcharge out here.
Barking Riverside plays by new-build rules. Access runs off Renwick Road and the development's internal streets, with most moves going through a building's loading bay or service entrance rather than the open kerb. Many blocks ask you to book a goods lift and a delivery slot with the concierge or building management ahead of time, and some have height-restricted underground parking, so we plan the logistics rather than just turning up.
Tell us the block and we'll confirm the loading bay, lift booking and any time window before the day, then bring trolleys to move quickly and cleanly from dock to door. The new courtyards and communal finishes are exactly the kind of smart areas building managers expect kept pristine, so we bring corner protection and blankets. There's no Congestion Charge in IG11, and although the development is inside the ULEZ, our vans are fully ULEZ-compliant, so there's no emission surcharge. Give us the building name, floor and any concierge contact when you book.
Barking Riverside is almost entirely new-build: one-, two- and three-bed apartments in mid- and high-rise blocks with lifts, concierge desks and underground parking, plus some new townhouses. There are very few awkward staircases here, but plenty of logistics, the real work is lift-booking, dock access, long internal corridors and protecting the development's new communal finishes.
We come equipped with trolleys and flat dollies to cover those distances efficiently, plus blankets and corner protection for the lifts and lobbies. Furniture in these flats is often modern and modular, so we dismantle and reassemble beds, wardrobes and sectional sofas as needed. Tell us the block, floor and lift situation when you book and we'll size the time correctly.
The Barking Riverside moves we run most, all on one fixed rate and a single driver.

Yes, regularly. We move flats throughout the Barking Riverside blocks off Renwick Road in IG11, from first move-ins to flat-to-flat shifts within the development. It's all the same vetted driver and the same pricing, whichever building you're in.
Most blocks use a loading bay or service entrance and require a booked goods lift and delivery slot. Tell us the building and we'll confirm the bay, lift booking and any time window with the concierge before the day, then use trolleys to move quickly from dock to door.
Barking Riverside has its own Overground station, opened in 2022 at the end of the Gospel Oak to Barking line, plus a Thames river bus pier. It doesn't matter for your move, though, we drive door to door, so just give us your block and we'll plan the route and access.
There's no Congestion Charge at Barking Riverside, it's well outside the central zone. The development is inside the Greater London ULEZ, but our vans are fully ULEZ-compliant, so no emission surcharge applies. You pay £30 per hour plus £1.50 per mile, a £50 minimum, nothing hidden.
Often, yes, though new-build moves depend on the block's lift and loading-bay availability. We're open Monday to Saturday, 08:00 to 19:00. Call 07550 145313 with your building and what's moving and we'll check both our slots and the concierge requirements.
