Walk West Kensington and Olympia from Olympia London outwards and the post-war pattern is obvious: 95% of the 4,112 households in W14 live in flats, 5% in houses.
47% of households rent privately and 31% own, which is why movers near you demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Walls are dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork; locally that also means with metal stud partitions between rooms — with 22% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first, so the fixing that matters in West Kensington and Olympia is chosen on site — the usual failure here is in W14, short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs — the pattern behind 4,112 households inside the W14 neighbourhood.

Event-day congestion at Olympia, red routes on North End Road and small block lifts. Nearest station is Kensington (Olympia) (District, Overground), and two movers as standard, three where a Victorian stair turn, a heavy item or a tight completion-day schedule makes the extra pair of hands worth the hourly cost.
