If you are planning a move in Angel, you already know the area is a little different from a standard suburban relocation.

Moving a period house in Highbury Fields is rarely a simple lift-and-load job. The rooms can be generous, the staircases a little awkward, and the finishes often need more care than a modern flat or new-build terrace.

Moving on Upper Street can look straightforward from a map, but anyone who has actually carried a sofa through a narrow hallway, up a cramped staircase, or past a queue of parked cars knows the truth: it rarely is.
