Aldgate removals: office moves and flat removals in EC3
Aldgate and the EC3 postcode have changed beyond recognition over the past fifteen years. New residential towers on Leman Street, Mansell Street and Alie Street have brought thousands of flats to a corner of London that was almost entirely commercial two decades ago. It is now one of the most active moving markets in inner London. According to Rightmove’s HM Land Registry data, the average sold price for a property in Aldgate currently stands at around £588,000, reflecting sustained demand from City professionals, young families and investors drawn to the area’s transport links and central location.
Every move in EC3 needs specific planning. Aldgate High Street, the Minories and Commercial Road are red routes with strict controls on stopping and loading. The Congestion Charge operates here throughout the working week. Many of the newer residential buildings require goods-lift slots booked in advance with building management, plus written confirmation of insurance cover before the crew enters. We arrange all of that before your move day: parking bay suspensions, Congestion Charge planning, goods-lift bookings, access letters. Our Whitechapel team covers the E1 side of this area, so cross-boundary moves are straightforward too.
Your quote is fixed before you book. No add-ons for a long carry from the lift, a parking suspension fee or an access issue that only comes to light on the day. Call 020 3983 5199 for a fast, free estimate.

Real reviews from real customers across Trustpilot, Google and Facebook.
“I moved out of a managed tower on Leman Street and was dreading the logistics. Goods lift, red route, Congestion Charge. They handled all of it and didn’t charge a penny more than quoted.”
“Four floors, no lift, narrow staircase in a Victorian conversion. These guys didn’t complain once. Fast, careful, and the price didn’t move. Booked them again three months later.”
“Weekend office move in EC3: 22 desks, a server room and a kitchen. Done by Sunday afternoon and everything was set up properly. Monday morning ran without a hitch.”
What to sort with the council before moving in Aldgate
One piece of admin matters more than the rest on a Aldgate move: the kerb outside the door. Controlled parking applies across parts of EC3, and there a removal van needs a suspended bay or a dispensation granted by the City of London Corporation.
Because each council sets its own notice period and charge, this is worth checking the day your date is confirmed rather than the week of the move. We can submit the application for you, or simply tell you what the council will ask for.
