Central London
Your local removal company for Kensington
Kensington and Chelsea moves are rarely simple. Mansion blocks with porters and strict hours, four-storey stucco terraces with the kitchen in the basement and bedrooms at the top, listed buildings, and the Royal Borough's parking regime all need to be managed. This is specialist work, and it is exactly what our White Glove Service was built for.
We have moved customers in Kensington, Holland Park, Notting Hill, South Kensington and Chelsea since 2006 — into and out of London, between flats in the same block, and abroad. A move here starts with a detailed survey and a written plan: vehicles, crew, parking, lift bookings, crating for art and antiques and a dedicated move manager if you want to hand the whole thing over.
Many of our Kensington customers are relocating internationally. We export-pack, ship by sea or air, manage customs paperwork and store whatever stays behind.

What moving in Kensington actually involves
RBKC parking suspensions
The Royal Borough requires suspensions to be booked in advance and enforces them rigorously. We handle the application and signage and will advise if a particular street needs a smaller vehicle.
Mansion blocks and porters
Most blocks require a booked lift or service entrance, proof of insurance and defined working hours. We liaise with the porter or managing agent in advance so the day runs to plan.
Fine art, antiques and wine
We crate paintings, mirrors and sculpture in foam-lined timber cases, move pianos with a specialist crew and can arrange climate-appropriate storage for wine and sensitive pieces.

What customers say
1,200+ reviews →“Best move ever! Our move with Northstar was absolutely brilliant. The service, starting with the initial in-person consultation, was extremely professional, and whilst they may not be the cheapest, I felt as though we were in a safe pair of hands.”
“Very helpful & friendly removal team, worked very hard and got everything done on the same day. Greg the survey/salesman also knew exactly what was required to get the job done. The team were very punctual.”
