Piano moving across Marylebone and Fitzrovia
Marylebone is one of the most music-rich districts in London. Wigmore Hall sits on Wigmore Street W1U and draws performers and audiences from across the world, and the surrounding streets contain a high concentration of musicians, teachers and instrument owners. The Victorian and Edwardian mansion blocks around Marylebone High Street, Baker Street, Wimpole Street and Devonshire Place give way to larger period houses on the Portman Estate, many of which have original music rooms on the first floor. Harley Street and Wimpole Street are known for private medicine, but both roads also contain consulting rooms and waiting areas fitted with upright pianos.
Fitzrovia, which covers the W1T postcode east of Great Portland Street, is a compact area of Victorian mansion blocks, 20th-century purpose-built flats and converted commercial buildings along Charlotte Street and Fitzroy Square. The residential population is mixed, with a number of musicians and media professionals who have moved in as the area has quietened from its earlier bohemian character. We cover the whole of W1U and W1T, including Marylebone Village, Portman Square, Manchester Square, Great Portland Street, Langham Street, Devonshire Street, Fitzroy Square and the streets between Tottenham Court Road and Regent Street. Both postcodes sit inside our central London Wednesday route.

PIANOS WE MOVE
Grands, uprights and digital pianos in Marylebone and Fitzrovia
The mix of piano types in W1U and W1T reflects the area. The large first-floor reception rooms in the Portman Estate houses and the grander mansion flats around Manchester Square regularly contain baby grands and full grands, including Steinway, Bechstein, Yamaha and Bosendorfer instruments. The converted terrace flats and smaller mansion blocks around Marylebone High Street and Devonshire Street more commonly hold upright pianos, including older overstrung cast-iron-frame instruments that are heavier than they look. Digital pianos and Clavinovas are common across Fitzrovia, particularly in the buildings around Great Portland Street where flats above commercial premises tend toward compact layouts.
We move every type of piano in both postcodes. Tell us the make, model and declared value when you book and we confirm the right crew, vehicle and transit cover before anything moves.
ACCESS AND PROTECTION
Period mansion blocks, Portman Estate properties and transit protection in W1U and W1T
The access picture in Marylebone and Fitzrovia varies more than in most central London postcodes. The large Portman Estate houses between Baker Street, Wigmore Street and Oxford Street tend to have wide entrance halls and generous original staircases, which helps on grand piano moves. Mansion blocks throughout Marylebone High Street and Baker Street vary considerably: the Edwardian ones typically have service lifts that are large enough for an upright but not always for a grand, and a few of the older blocks have no lift at all. Fitzrovia's converted buildings sometimes have internal configurations that were never designed for large instruments. We check the access in detail at the time of booking and plan the right approach for each job.
Parking across W1U and W1T is controlled. The Portman Estate and the streets around Manchester Square are permit-only, and the Charlotte Street and Goodge Street areas in Fitzrovia have their own loading restrictions. We organise the loading dispensation before every move so you do not need to manage it. Stairs and floor level are priced automatically in your online quote, so the figure you see is what you pay. Every piano travels in a top of the range, triple-thickness fitted transit cover. On grands and baby grands, the legs and pedals are removed and packed into individual padded bags inside a heavy-duty crate. Where a staircase is not suitable for manual handling, we arrange a crane lift.

Questions
Which Marylebone and Fitzrovia postcodes do you cover and on what day?
We cover the whole W1U postcode, including Marylebone Village, Wigmore Street, Baker Street, Portman Square, Manchester Square, Wimpole Street and Devonshire Street, plus the W1T postcode covering Fitzrovia, Charlotte Street, Fitzroy Square and Great Portland Street. The delivery day for both postcodes is Wednesday. Book at book.pianospeed.com to see the next available Wednesday slot for your exact address.
Can you move a grand piano in a Marylebone mansion block?
Yes. The approach depends on the specific building. Many Edwardian mansion blocks in Marylebone have service lifts that take an upright but not a grand, so grand moves in those buildings go up the stairs or, where stairs are not suitable, by crane lift. We check the exact access when you book so there are no surprises on the day. The legs and pedals are removed and individually padded, and the piano travels in a triple-thickness fitted transit cover. Stairs and floor level are priced automatically in your online quote.
Do you move pianos on Wigmore Street and the surrounding streets in Marylebone?
Yes. We move pianos regularly in the streets immediately around Wigmore Hall, including Wigmore Street itself, Wimpole Street, Harley Street and Devonshire Place. Properties in this part of W1U include medical consulting rooms fitted with waiting-area pianos, private apartments and some of the larger Portman Estate houses with original music rooms.
How do you handle parking restrictions in Marylebone and Fitzrovia?
Both W1U and W1T are Controlled Parking Zones throughout. We organise the loading dispensation for your address before we arrive on the move day. This is part of our standard pre-move preparation, not something you need to arrange yourself.
Can I book a Marylebone or Fitzrovia piano move online?
