A local driver who knows College Park's tucked-away streets by Old Oak Common, the Scrubs Lane edge and the railway-bordered corner of the borough.
College Park is one of the borough's least-known corners, a small, tucked-away residential pocket on the northern edge of Hammersmith & Fulham where it meets Old Oak Common and the Harlesden side of NW10. Bounded by railway lines and the Grand Union Canal, it's a quiet grid of terraced streets off Scrubs Lane, hemmed in by the great rail interchange that is now being transformed by the HS2 and Elizabeth line works at Old Oak Common. Wormwood Scrubs, the borough's biggest green space, lies just to the south.
The moves here are practical and varied: a flat shifted off Hythe Road, a one-bed collected near Scrubs Lane, a sofa carried up a terraced conversion, or a couple moving in as the Old Oak regeneration brings new homes nearby. One vetted, friendly driver handles the whole job from start to finish, your belongings are covered by goods-in-transit insurance every mile of the way, and our Google rating stands at a full 5.0. We send free quotes the same day you get in touch, and the rate stays the same in this tucked-away, railway-bordered corner: £30 per hour plus £1.50 per mile, a £50 minimum and no hidden fees.
College Park's access is shaped by the railways and the big roads around it. The pocket is bounded by lines and the Grand Union Canal, and the main artery, Scrubs Lane, is a busy through-route, often disrupted by the Old Oak Common construction, with stretches where stopping is restricted. The terraced streets off it, including Hythe Road and the roads towards Mitre Way, sit in a controlled parking zone with permit-only bays and narrow carriageways.
For a fuller move on a permit bay we can advise on a short council removals dispensation, worth arranging a few days ahead. There's no Congestion Charge here, and although College Park is inside the ULEZ, our vans are fully ULEZ-compliant, so no emission surcharge applies. With the HS2 and Elizabeth line works ongoing around Old Oak Common, road layouts and closures can change, so a local driver checking the route in advance really earns its keep. Tell us the address, floor and access when you book and we'll plan the kerbside time.
College Park is mostly modest Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing, a mix of whole family homes and properties split into one- and two-bed conversions, with the steep stairs and narrow hallways that come with the type. There are also some ex-local-authority flats and, increasingly, newer apartments going up as the Old Oak and Park Royal regeneration spreads along the borough's northern edge.
For terraced and conversion moves we dismantle beds and flat-pack wardrobes, hand-ball sofas and mattresses down the stairs, and protect the communal areas with blankets and straps as we go. For any of the newer flats arriving with the regeneration we work to the goods lift and loading bay where they exist, bringing trolleys for the longer corridors. Whatever the property type, flag the floor and any stairs when you book and we'll bring the right kit and size the time correctly.
The College Park moves we handle most, all on a single clear rate.
