A local driver who knows the Cricklewood Broadway buzz, the terraces off Chichele Road and the Thameslink station on the borough's south-west edge.
Cricklewood sits on Barnet's south-western edge in NW2, where the borough rubs shoulders with Brent and Camden along the busy Broadway. It's a lively, mixed neighbourhood strung along Cricklewood Broadway and Cricklewood Lane, with a long-standing Irish heritage, a diverse run of shops, cafés and the Thameslink station feeding fast trains into St Pancras. Off the main roads it settles into dense Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many converted into flats, with the green of Gladstone Park not far to the north.
The moves here are classic NW2: a first flat shifted off Chichele Road, a one-bed conversion carried from the Broadway, a house-share move near the station, or a sofa collected from a terrace off Cricklewood Lane. One careful driver sees your move through from start to finish, every load travels under goods-in-transit insurance, and we're rated a full 5.0 on Google. The price doesn't change for this busy corner: £30 per hour plus £1.50 per mile, a £50 minimum and no hidden fees, whether you're moving within NW2 or out across the borough.
The pinch-point here is Cricklewood Broadway (the A5 Edgware Road) and Cricklewood Lane, both busy through-routes with bus lanes and red-route stretches where you can't stop, so we rarely load on them directly. Instead we work to the residential grid behind, roads like Chichele Road, Anson Road and the streets towards Gladstone Park, which sit in controlled parking zones with permit-only bays and narrow Victorian carriageways.
For a fuller load on a permit bay we can advise on a short Barnet Council parking dispensation, arranged a few days ahead. There's no Congestion Charge in NW2, and although Cricklewood is inside the Greater London ULEZ, our vans are fully ULEZ-compliant, so no emission surcharge applies. Where a flat sits above a Broadway shop or back from the road, we'll plan the nearest legal stopping point and hand-carry from there, timing the load to dodge the worst of the through-traffic. Give us the address and floor when you book and we'll have it planned.
Cricklewood is mostly Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing, a great deal of it split into one- and two-bed conversions and house-shares, plus flats above the shops along the Broadway and Cricklewood Lane. There are also some purpose-built blocks and newer apartments near the station and the regeneration land. It's a younger, more transient patch, so moves tend to be frequent and tenancy-driven.
Conversions and shared houses are our staple here: we dismantle beds and flat-pack wardrobes, hand-ball sofas and mattresses down steep, narrow stairs, and protect the communal hallways that shared houses rely on. Flats above shops add a narrow street door and a flight up from the pavement, which we plan for. Flag the floor, any stairs and whether it's a share when you book and we'll come prepared.

All of the Barnet side of NW2: the terraces off Chichele Road and Anson Road, the flats along Cricklewood Broadway and Cricklewood Lane, and the streets towards Gladstone Park. Wherever your Cricklewood move is, it's the same driver and the same pricing.
The Broadway and Cricklewood Lane are busy red-route and bus-lane stretches where stopping is restricted, so we work to quieter side streets like Chichele Road and hand-carry in. We time the load around the heavy through-traffic on the A5 to keep the move smooth.
Yes, that's a lot of our NW2 work given how many rentals there are. We can often fit in same-day or next-day jobs, and we work Monday to Saturday, 08:00 to 19:00. Call 07550 145313 with your move-out date and a list of what's going.
Yes. Those flats often have a narrow shared street door and steep stairs up from the pavement. We find the nearest legal kerb, hand-carry from there, dismantle anything that won't turn on the landings, and protect the communal stairwell with blankets as we go.
