The NW3 stock around Swiss Cottage Library by Basil Spence is mainly Victorian. ONS records 89% flats, 11% houses and 3,083 households in Swiss Cottage.
46% of households rent privately and 33% own, which is why shed clearance and removal demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Swiss Cottage substrates run to lath and plaster over timber studs in NW3, with solid brick on the party and external walls — which is what a 89% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Swiss Cottage actually produces. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because which crumbles the key and drops the panel, over a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster — which is why London Borough of Camden kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded is the mistake that costs a NW3 customer twice.
Two streets can behave very differently in Swiss Cottage: finchley Road's shops and library beside 1930s flats and post-war blocks. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Swiss Cottage sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: finchley Road is a red route; loading is from side streets with permits and lift booking in the blocks. Swiss Cottage (Jubilee) is the nearest station, and two crew and a Luton on a standard timber shed; three crew where the shed is a workshop size, the base is concrete or the only route out is through the house.
