A local driver who knows Somers Town's estates between the stations, the Chalton Street market and the blocks off Ossulston Street.
Somers Town is the close-knit residential pocket of NW1 squeezed between the great termini of Euston, St Pancras and King's Cross. Long a working-class community, it is dominated by interwar and post-war housing estates, mansion-style blocks and council flats around Ossulston Street, Chalton Street, with its little street market, and Polygon Road. The British Library and the Francis Crick Institute sit on its eastern edge, and the area is hemmed in by the busy Euston Road to the south.
The moves here are mostly estate- and flat-based: a flat shifted within the Ossulston Estate, a one-bed off Chalton Street, a sofa carried up a walk-up near Polygon Road, or a tenancy cleared close to Euston. The same vetted driver handles the whole job, your belongings are covered by goods-in-transit insurance, and our Google rating stands at a full 5.0. The rate stays the same across every block and street: £30 per hour plus £1.50 per mile, a £50 minimum and no hidden fees.
Somers Town is tightly bounded by busy roads, Euston Road, Pancras Road and Midland Road, which carry heavy traffic, bus lanes and red-route stretches where you cannot stop, so we load from the calmer internal streets. Roads like Chalton Street, Ossulston Street and Polygon Road sit in a controlled parking zone with permit-only bays, and on the estates the vehicle access is often set back from the block, meaning a longer hand-carry across courtyards and walkways.
For a fuller load on a permit bay we can advise on a short Camden Council removals dispensation, best arranged a few days ahead. Somers Town itself sits just north of the central Congestion Charge zone, so the daily charge does not apply to most of the area, though addresses right on the Euston Road edge can be borderline; we will confirm honestly and build any charge in if it applies. The area is inside the ULEZ, but our vans are fully ULEZ-compliant, so there is no emission surcharge. Tell us the block, floor and whether there is a working lift when you book.
Somers Town's housing is led by its estates: interwar and post-war mansion-style blocks and council flats, some with lifts and some walk-ups, around Ossulston Street, Chalton Street and Polygon Road, with a scattering of newer infill and converted flats. The estate blocks mean lift-booking where there is one, narrow lift cars, communal staircases in the walk-ups and a carry across courtyards and walkways to reach the vehicle.
For blocks with a lift we work to it and bring trolleys for the walkway distance; for walk-ups we hand-ball furniture down the communal stairs and dismantle beds, wardrobes and bulky sofas to get them round tight landings. Everything is protected with blankets and straps as standard. Flag the block, floor and lift status when you book so we size the time correctly.
The Somers Town moves we handle most, all on a single clear rate.
