A local driver who knows Ladbroke Grove from the elegant Notting Hill end to the Golborne Road market and the W10 estates north of the Westway.
Ladbroke Grove is the long road and surrounding neighbourhood that runs the whole height of the borough, threading W11 into W10 as it climbs north. At its southern end it is pure Notting Hill, the elegant Ladbroke Estate with its private communal gardens and pastel stucco crescents. Cross the Westway flyover and the character shifts: the northern stretch around the Grove is more mixed and lived-in, with the Golborne Road market, Trellick Tower on the skyline, and a blend of Victorian terraces, walk-up flats and post-war estates. The Notting Hill Carnival surges through these streets every August.
The moves reflect that span: a flat shifted off the southern crescents, a one-bed near the Grove Tube, a tenancy cleared by Golborne Road, or a sofa carried up an estate flat in the W10 north. One vetted, friendly driver handles the whole job from start to finish, your belongings are covered by goods-in-transit insurance throughout, and our Google rating stands at a full 5.0. The rate stays the same up and down the Grove: £30 per hour plus £1.50 per mile, a £50 minimum and no hidden fees.
Ladbroke Grove itself is a busy through-route with bus lanes and stretches where you cannot stop, made trickier by the Westway flyover cutting across it, so we plan the load to side streets. The southern crescents like Lansdowne Road sit in a controlled parking zone with permit-only bays and stucco terraces backing onto private gardens, while the W10 streets around Golborne Road mix permit bays with estate access that can mean a longer carry across walkways.
For a larger move on a permit bay we can advise on a short RBKC removals dispensation, sorted a few days ahead. One date to plan around is the Notting Hill Carnival in late August, when these streets are closed and packed, so we avoid moving during the weekend itself. There is no Congestion Charge here, as the borough sits outside the central zone, and although the area is inside the ULEZ, our vans are fully ULEZ-compliant, so no emission surcharge applies. Tell us the address, floor and any estate access when you book.
Ladbroke Grove's housing changes as you go north. The southern, Notting Hill end is grand stucco crescents and terraces around the Ladbroke Estate, divided into elegant upper-floor flats with private garden access. Past the Westway, the W10 stretch is more mixed: Victorian terraces split into conversions and house-shares, walk-up flats above the shops, and post-war estates including the listed Trellick Tower with its lifts and walkways.
Each calls for a different method: the southern conversions mean dismantling beds and hand-balling sofas down period staircases, while the northern estate flats mean lift-booking, a carry across walkways and protecting communal areas. We bring straps, blankets and trolleys for the distance as standard. Flag whether it is a conversion, a walk-up or a tower flat, plus the floor and lift status, when you book.
The Ladbroke Grove moves we handle most, all on a single clear rate.

All of Ladbroke Grove across W11 and W10: the southern Notting Hill crescents like Lansdowne Road, the area around Ladbroke Grove Tube and the Westway, and the W10 north around Golborne Road and Trellick Tower. Wherever your move is on the Grove, it is the same driver and pricing.
Yes. In the W10 estates around Golborne Road, including Trellick Tower, the vehicle access can be set back from the block, so we plan the closest legal stopping point, book the lift, and bring trolleys for the carry across walkways. Tell us the block, floor and lift status when you book.
The Carnival in late August closes and packs these streets, so we avoid moving during the weekend itself and plan around it. Tell us your date when you book and, if it clashes, we will suggest the nearest workable day and sort the access and parking around the road closures.
Yes, plenty, given how many rented flats and house-shares line the Grove. 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 quick list of what is going.
