Trade Plate Vehicle Movements in London

Auction collections around London: Enfield, Crawley, Lingfield and beyond

There is no auction yard in central London, but the capital is ringed by them. BCA Enfield serves the north, BCA Chelmsford lies out in Essex, BCA Crawley and Central Car Auctions Lingfield cover the south, BCA Camberley sits off the M3 and Wilsons Auctions Maidstone is the Kent option.

We confirm your lot has been released before a driver heads onto the M25. More detail sits on our auction collection after release page. Salvage is the one category we have to turn down.

Enfield has its own page if the move starts or ends in that borough, and Orpington, Kilburn, Chigwell and Blackheath have pages of their own too.

From Park Royal to a Zone 2 mews: getting the London address right

London addresses vary enormously. Fleet parks in Park Royal and along the Thames have barriers and site managers, while inner streets come with one way systems, bus lanes, red routes and no waiting. Give us the borough, the full postcode and a sensible place to stop, and the driver goes to the right door first time.

SW1 and IG8 are a long way apart, and a booking marked London that is really in Enfield or Slough needs the proper address. If the drive enters the ULEZ or the congestion charge zone, note it on the booking, and make sure the vehicle is legal for any zone it has to enter, because trade plates cannot change that.

Enfield, Kilburn, Orpington, Chigwell, Blackheath, Slough, St Albans and Reading all sit around the capital. A run from Park Royal to Croydon is one job, and so is a drive from London to Glasgow.

Getting home from the London termini

After a one way delivery our driver heads home from one of the mainline termini: Euston, King's Cross, Paddington, Waterloo, Liverpool Street, Victoria or London Bridge. We plan which one suits each drop so the return is simple.

Group transfers, auction lots and fleet vans across the capital

A typical London booking is a group moving one car between a site in west London and a satellite in the south, or a lot leaving BCA Enfield for a buyer elsewhere in the country once it has been released. Fleet vans come off Park Royal, and each one needs a valid MOT.

When you have promised a customer on a Zone 2 street a delivery, our driver arrives in the car itself, with no trailer stuck on a red route. Details of dealer site transfers are on their own page.

We move single vehicles, so your car never waits for a transporter to fill its deck inside the M25. Add a named contact and any barrier code, especially for locked industrial units and gated mews.

Planning around the M25 and the river crossings

Queues on the M25, a closed Dartford crossing and a booking that says London without naming the borough are the usual causes of delay. Give us the borough, postcode, barrier code and who to ask for, so the driver goes straight to BCA Enfield or a house in Dulwich without crossing the city twice.

We keep the same records on every job. A short hop from Croydon to Park Royal gets photos at collection and a signature on delivery, just like a long run north.
