How it works
Three steps and one written figure
Tell us the home
Bedrooms, what you want packed and photos or a quick video walk-round. That is enough to size a City of London pack without anyone visiting.
Fixed quote and box plan
Packer count, hours and every box, roll and cover in one figure, with City of London Corporation parking for the materials drop already sorted.
Packed and labelled
Room by room, fragiles wrapped individually, inventory handed over, plus unpacking and box collection in EC1, EC2, EC3, EC4 where booked.
Why us
Why City of London books our packers and books them again
Insurance-valid packing
Professionally packed boxes are claimable under goods-in-transit cover. Owner-packed boxes usually are not, because no insurer can verify what went in or how it was wrapped. That is the honest reason to book.
All materials included and delivered ahead
Double-wall boxes, packing paper, bubble wrap, tape, mattress and sofa covers and wardrobe boxes on loan — inside the price, dropped days before, never itemised afterwards.
Labelling that survives the unload
Source room, destination room, contents and a fragile flag on four sides, plus a numbered inventory, so the right boxes end up in the right rooms and nothing is opened at random.
Flat packs and lift logistics in City of London
Compact homes pack fast, but the materials still have to arrive. We book the goods lift and clear the drop with the concierge so flat-packed boxes and wardrobe cartons land days ahead instead of blocking a lobby on the morning.

Quotes follow bedrooms and contents, are confirmed in writing from your photos or a video walk-round, and are never revised on the day. Homes heavy with books, china or artwork are priced honestly up front rather than surprised at the end.
- Materials are delivered ahead across City of London, with City of London Corporation bay hours checked before the drop.
- Congestion Charge and ULEZ are inside the quoted figure, never on the invoice.
- Access here: Congestion Charge and ULEZ, ring-of-steel camera controls, almost no free kerb — loading bays must be booked around office hours.

Box plan
How many boxes a City of London home needs about 37–61 boxes
Sized from City of London's housing mix — barbican and golden lane flats, converted counting houses and a handful of new riverside blocks. Your own plan is confirmed in writing before the materials drop, and every box in it is inside the price.
- Kitchen8–13
Cell-divided cartons for glass, plates packed on edge, pans in mediums.
- Living room and books10–16
Books in small boxes only — nothing over 20kg on a London staircase.
- Bedrooms and wardrobes8–14
Hanging clothes straight into wardrobe boxes on loan, drawers into larges.
- Bathroom, hallway and study5–8
Liquids bagged and boxed separately, cables and tech in one labelled carton.
- Fragiles — china, glass, art, mirrors4–6
Wrapped individually in paper, then bubble, then boxed with corner protection.
- Storage cupboard and balcony2–4
Flats hide less, so the count stays tight — the lift booking matters more than the volume.

About the place
Packing in City of London what it actually involves
City of London is barbican and golden lane flats, converted counting houses and a handful of new riverside blocks. That mix is what a packing quote in the borough actually turns on: bedroom count and shelf metres set the box plan, period stock adds a fragile packing day, and access — congestion charge and ulez, ring-of-steel camera controls, almost no free kerb — loading bays must be booked around office hours. — decides how materials arrive and how boxes leave. Every quote is written against your own home rather than the borough average.
