Walk Liverpool Street from Broadgate Circle outwards and the period conversion pattern is obvious: 98% of the 4,914 households in EC2 live in flats, 2% in houses.
Private renting sits at 48% and owner-occupation at 37%; the first group books mattress and bed disposal at short notice, the second plans it.
Liverpool Street substrates run to dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork; locally that also means with metal stud partitions between rooms — and with 51% one-person households in Liverpool Street, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — which is why City of London Corporation kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded is the mistake that costs a EC2 customer twice.
Two streets can behave very differently in Liverpool Street: commuter gateway with Broadgate offices on one side and Spitalfields market on the other. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Liverpool Street sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
On access, broadgate estate has its own access rules and booked bays; surrounding streets are red-route controlled — one reason two crew and a Luton on a standard mattress and base; the same crew dismantles bunk frames and storage divans on site before the carry. Fitters travelling in use Liverpool Street (Central, Circle, Elizabeth line, National Rail).
