A local driver who knows Limehouse Basin, the warehouse conversions on Narrow Street and the terraces by the DLR and the Commercial Road.
Limehouse sits where E14 meets E1, an old riverside district built on the Thames and the Regent's Canal that empties into Limehouse Basin. Once the heart of London's Chinatown and a busy dockside, it's now a quieter mix of marina apartments, riverside warehouse conversions along Narrow Street, and Victorian terraces inland. Limehouse DLR and the c2c station link it westward to Fenchurch Street, while Commercial Road and The Highway frame its edges and the canal towpath threads up towards Mile End.
The moves here range across that mix: a flat shifted within the Limehouse Basin marina blocks, a warehouse loft on Narrow Street, a one-bed terrace near the DLR, or a couple moving in from the City. The same friendly driver runs your move from door to door, every load travels under goods-in-transit insurance, and our 5.0 Google rating speaks for the care we take. The pricing holds firm whether you're by the water or inland: £30 per hour plus £1.50 per mile, a £50 minimum and no hidden fees.
Limehouse is shaped by big roads and water. Commercial Road and The Highway (A1203) are major routes with bus lanes and red-route stretches where you can't stop, so we load off them. Narrow Street hugs the river with its warehouse conversions and is tight and one-way in places, while the Limehouse Basin marina blocks have gated entrances and booked loading points. The terraced streets inland sit in a controlled parking zone with permit-only bays.
For a fuller load on a permit bay we can advise on a short Tower Hamlets Council removals dispensation arranged a few days ahead, and for the marina and warehouse blocks we confirm access and any lift booking with building management first. There's no Congestion Charge in E14 or this part of E1, as the borough sits outside the central zone, and although Limehouse is inside the ULEZ, our vans are ULEZ-compliant, so no emission surcharge applies. Tell us the address, floor and whether it's a riverside conversion when you book and we'll plan the access.
Limehouse housing splits between waterside and street. Around the Basin and Narrow Street you have marina apartments and former warehouse conversions, with big windows, exposed loft layouts and sometimes narrow industrial doorways or shared external lifts. Inland there are Victorian terraces, many in conversions, plus ex-council estates and newer infill flats near the DLR and Commercial Road.
Warehouse and marina moves need careful manoeuvring of large pieces through old goods doors and round tight stair turns, with trolleys for any lift or quayside carry. Terraces and conversions bring the familiar steep stairs and narrow hallways, so we dismantle beds and wardrobes and hand-ball sofas down. We protect everything with blankets and straps as standard. Flag the property type, floor and any waterside or lift access when you book.
The Limehouse moves we run most, all on the same fixed rate.

All of Limehouse across E14 and the E1 edge: the marina blocks around Limehouse Basin, the warehouse conversions on Narrow Street, the terraces near Limehouse DLR and the streets off Commercial Road. Wherever your Limehouse move is, it's the same driver and pricing.
Yes, regularly. The riverside conversions on Narrow Street have exposed loft layouts and sometimes narrow industrial doorways or shared lifts, and the street is tight and one-way in places. We confirm access first, then manoeuvre large pieces carefully and use trolleys for any quayside carry.
Yes. The marina apartment blocks usually have gated entrances and a booked loading point or lift, so we confirm access with building management before the day and bring trolleys to move efficiently. Give us the building and floor when you book so we can plan the logistics.
No. Limehouse sits outside the central Congestion Charge zone, whose eastern edge runs along the City and Tower Bridge, so there's no daily charge on your move. It's inside the ULEZ, but our vans are ULEZ-compliant, so no emission surcharge applies either.
Often, yes, especially for a single item or a smaller flat, though waterside blocks depend on lift and loading availability. We're open Monday to Saturday, 08:00 to 19:00. Call 07550 145313 with your addresses and what's moving for the earliest slot.
