Moving to Camden in 2026 — Costs, Streets & What Your Removal Company Should Know
Thinking of moving to Camden NW1/NW5? Real 2026 removal cost ranges, market-day traffic, parking suspensions and the streets to know — from HomeGo's branch 10 minutes away.

Camden is one of the most-searched "moving to" destinations in London — canal-side living, Primrose Hill on your doorstep and the Northern line into the City in 15 minutes. Our branch is 1.5 miles away on Great Russell Street, so NW1 and NW5 are daily territory. Here's what to actually budget and plan.
What moving to Camden costs in 2026
- 1-bed flat (within London): £380–£620 fixed, VAT-free
- 2-bed flat or maisonette: £520–£840
- 3-bed Kentish Town terrace: £780–£1,240
- From the Home Counties (3-bed): £880–£1,380 with one crew end-to-end
Every figure is a written fixed price — HomeGo doesn't charge VAT, so there's no 20% surprise at the bottom of the invoice.
The Camden-specific things your mover must plan
Market days: weekends around Camden Lock are a no-go for loading — we schedule NW1 moves on weekday mornings or start before 8am. Parking suspensions: most streets are controlled; Camden Council needs 7 working days (from £34/day) and we handle the application. Canal-side flats: towpath properties off Regent's Canal need a hand-carry leg from the nearest road — we survey first so it's in the fixed price. Kentish Town terraces: narrow return staircases mean wardrobes and sofas often dismantle; reassembly is free with every HomeGo move.
Which streets suit which movers
The Regent's Park crescents and Primrose Hill villas take a full 7-tonne lorry comfortably. Hartland Road, Ferdinand Street and the mews off Chalk Farm Road want a Luton or smaller. Booking a mover who sends the wrong-size vehicle is the #1 cause of Camden moving-day chaos — it's why we confirm vehicle sizing at survey, not on the day.
