Piano moving across Kensington and W8
Kensington is built almost entirely on Victorian and Edwardian stock. The streets around Holland Park, Campden Hill, Lexham Gardens and Pemberton Road are lined with large terraced houses, most of them now divided into flats, alongside substantial mansion blocks and, in the Holland Park Avenue area, some of the biggest town houses in London. We work across all of it.
We cover the whole W8 postcode, including Kensington, Holland Park, Campden Hill, Campden Hill Square, Notting Hill Gate, High Street Kensington, Lexham Gardens, Argyll Road, De Vere Gardens and Royal Gardens. We also cover West Kensington and Olympia in the W14 district. Both postcodes sit inside our central London coverage, and we run them on a set weekly schedule. The delivery day for Kensington is Wednesday, so your move joins a planned route rather than a one-off trip.
- W8 and W14 postcodes served on a set weekday, currently Wednesday
- Uprights, baby grands, grands, concert grands and digital pianos
- Fully insured, piano-trained crews
- Fixed price online, no site survey needed
PIANOS WE MOVE
Uprights, grands and digital pianos in Kensington
We handle every type of piano in Kensington. Grand pianos and baby grands are more common here than in most parts of London, given the scale of the houses and larger flats around Holland Park and Campden Hill. We also move upright pianos, including heavy cast-iron frame instruments in Victorian properties, and digital pianos such as Yamaha Clavinovas and stage pianos.
Tell us the make, model and overall dimensions when you book and we send the right crew with the right kit. We work on padded skid boards and carry stair-climbing equipment for controlled handling on steps and through tight turns. For a grand piano, knowing the size at the point of booking means we plan the access route, the vehicle and the lift before the day so nothing is left to chance.
ACCESS AND PROTECTION
Stairs, parking and transit protection in Kensington
Kensington presents some of the most demanding access conditions in London. Holland Park villas can have wide entrance halls and grand staircases that look open but narrow on the upper turns. Mansion blocks around High Street Kensington and Lexham Gardens often have old cage lifts that cannot carry a piano, or no lift at all. Converted terraces on the quieter residential streets frequently have narrow hallways with steep wooden stairs to upper-floor flats, and basement flats are common throughout W8. Parking is controlled across the entire area, so we plan parking and access before every job, not on the day.
Stairs are chargeable and calculated automatically in your online quote, so the price you see is the price you pay. Where a staircase is too tight we arrange a crane lift. Every piano travels in a top of the range, triple-thickness fitted transit cover rather than loose blankets. On grands and baby grands, the legs and pedals each come off and go into their own padded bag, which are then stowed in a heavy duty crate for transit. Nothing rattles and nothing gets scratched.

Questions
Which Kensington postcodes do you cover and on what day?
We cover the whole W8 postcode, including Kensington, Holland Park, Campden Hill, High Street Kensington, Lexham Gardens, Argyll Road and De Vere Gardens, plus West Kensington and Olympia in W14. The delivery day for both postcodes is Wednesday. Book online at book.pianospeed.com to see the next available Wednesday slot for your exact address.
Can you move a grand piano in a Kensington mansion block?
Yes. Mansion blocks in W8 are one of the situations we plan for carefully. Old cage lifts rarely fit a piano, so we assess the staircase and either use our stair-climbing equipment and piano-trained crew or arrange a crane lift where the stairs are too tight. The legs and pedals are removed and padded separately. Stairs and floors are priced automatically in your online quote.
Can you move a piano into a basement flat in Kensington?
Yes. Basement flats are common throughout W8, and we handle them regularly. We assess the basement stairs and the external access point at the time of booking. Where the internal stairs are not suitable, we use the external coal-hole or lightwell access, or arrange a crane lift. Stairs are chargeable and calculated automatically when you book.
How do you handle parking restrictions in Kensington?
W8 and W14 are Controlled Parking Zones throughout. We plan parking and access in advance of every move, checking restrictions and identifying the right loading point for your address before the day. This is part of our pre-move preparation rather than something you need to manage yourself.
