How it worksAcross London.
Central London
Westminster asks for 10 working days’ notice to suspend a bay for a removal.
North London
From Islington out to Barnet along the A1, crossed by the North Circular (A406).
South London
Lambeth suspends bays on 10 working days’ notice as standard, or 2–5 as express.
East London
Blackwall and Silvertown tunnels charge 6am–10pm; Rotherhithe takes nothing over 2 metres high or wide.
West London
Hammersmith Bridge has been closed to motor vehicles since 2019, so plan another way over the river.

Firms in London ask.
What does it cost?
One fee per booking, added to the day rate. Ask someone direct and you see the full price first.
Does Subber book the parking bay?
No. Book the suspension with the borough, as you do now.
Does the driver need the HGV Safety Permit?
No, the lorry does. It’s free from TfL for anything over 12 tonnes.
Porters and drivers ask.
Are there jobs in London yet?
Removal firms post jobs on Subber whenever they need extra people. Join free, set your roles and the days you’re free, and we’ll tell you when one near you matches.
Who pays the ULEZ if I drive in?
Agree it before you accept. Firms can put charges on the job as other costs.
Does it cost me anything?
No. Free to join. You pay nothing.
