Area Guide
Twickenham sits on a bend of the River Thames in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, covering TW1, TW2, TW11 and TW12, with Teddington on the fringe. It is best known for Twickenham Stadium, the home of England rugby, and the town's rhythm changes noticeably on a match day, so we plan road closures and crowds into the schedule whenever a fixture falls near a move.
Central Twickenham around King Street and the riverside is a mix of Victorian and Edwardian terraces, converted flats and the occasional riverside apartment block, where access to the river path and the narrower older streets needs checking before the day. St Margarets and Marble Hill, close to Marble Hill Park and Strawberry Hill House, have some of the area's larger period houses, while Whitton and Hampton Hill are more suburban, 1930s semis with driveways and a bit more room to work with. Eel Pie Island, reached only by a footbridge, is its own case entirely and always gets a proper look at access before we quote.
Getting Around
Transport is straightforward once you know it. South Western Railway runs from Twickenham station into London Waterloo in around 30 minutes, so a good number of our clients are commuters. For the crew, the A316 and Chertsey Road are the main approach routes, connecting through to the M3, and we plan arrival times around the traffic those roads carry, particularly on a Twickenham Stadium match day, when road closures around the ground affect St Margarets and the streets closest to the river.
We have been moving people in and around Twickenham for years, riverside flats, family houses in Whitton and Hampton Hill, period properties near Strawberry Hill. Whichever part of Twickenham you are in, the same fixed-price, fully insured service applies.
The Twickenham Differentiator
This is where planning matters most in Twickenham. Richmond upon Thames is a controlled parking zone borough, so a removals van cannot simply park up outside for the day.
A parking bay suspension in Twickenham is booked through Richmond Council, and it is genuinely one of the pricier applications in London: an admin fee of around £160, plus a separate per-bay-per-day charge that varies by zone, on top. The council typically asks for 7 to 10 working days notice, so this needs arranging well ahead of moving day, not the week before. We tell you exactly where the bay needs to go and what the application involves, and we plan the crew and the van around it.
Match days add another layer. Twickenham Stadium fixtures bring road closures and heavy pedestrian traffic to the streets around the ground, so we always check the fixtures calendar before confirming timing for a move anywhere near St Margarets or the stadium itself.
None of this is a problem once it is thought through. We check the access at both ends before the day, so the crew, the van size and the timing fit the street rather than fighting it.
