Piano moving across Muswell Hill, Highgate and the surrounding streets
Muswell Hill and Highgate sit on the same high ridge in North London, and the housing on and around that ridge is some of the most distinctive in the city. Muswell Hill (N10) is built largely on large Edwardian and late-Victorian semis and detached houses, most of them running along the Broadway, Colney Hatch Lane, Fortis Green and the quiet residential streets between them. Many of these properties have been subdivided into flats, which means a piano that was delivered to a ground-floor reception in 1910 now lives in a first or second-floor flat with a turning staircase and a narrow front door.
Highgate (N6) is older and steeper. The village centre around Pond Square, The Grove and Swain's Lane is predominantly Georgian and early Victorian, with tall townhouses, basement kitchens and long flights of external steps from the pavement. North Hill and Highgate Hill are among the steepest streets in London, and properties on the western side of Highgate West Hill and Merton Lane look out over Hampstead Heath from some of the most commanding positions in the capital. We cover both postcode areas in full, including Fortis Green, Cranley Gardens, Alexandra Park, Pages Lane and the streets around Alexandra Palace in N10, and Highgate Village, Parliament Hill Fields and the Highgate Hill approaches in N6. Muswell Hill and Highgate run on a Wednesday delivery schedule, so your move joins a planned route rather than a one-off trip.

PIANOS WE MOVE
Uprights, grands and digital pianos in Muswell Hill and Highgate
The most common piano move we handle in this part of North London is an upright in a subdivided Edwardian house, usually from a ground-floor flat that is being cleared or into a first-floor reception that has just had a piano delivered from a dealer. Baby grands and full grands come up regularly in the larger houses that remain undivided on Fortis Green, Alexandra Park Road and the upper streets of Highgate. The Georgian townhouses around Highgate Village also produce grand piano moves, often into or out of a basement that requires careful planning before the crew arrives.
We move digital pianos and Clavinovas throughout N10 and N6 as well. These instruments are lighter than acoustics but still need careful handling on staircases. Tell us the make, model and approximate size when you book at book.pianospeed.com and we match the crew and vehicle to the job. For a grand, knowing the dimensions in advance means we plan the access route and equipment before we arrive.
ACCESS AND PROTECTION
Steep hills, external steps and transit protection in N10 and N6
Access in Muswell Hill and Highgate presents more challenges than in most London postcodes. Many properties in N10 have a short run of external steps from the pavement before the front door, and internal staircases in the Edwardian houses tend to narrow at the half-landing turn. In Highgate the external steps can be long: properties on Highgate West Hill, North Hill and the side streets off Swain's Lane sometimes have ten or fifteen steps before you reach the entrance level, and the front door widths in Georgian properties are often narrower than in later housing. We assess the access at both the collection and delivery addresses before the day and confirm the crew size and equipment in advance.
Stairs and floor level are priced into your online quote automatically when you book. Stairs are chargeable, and the figure you see covers the full access at both ends. Where a staircase is too tight for the piano we arrange a crane or hoist lift and confirm the method and cost before the day. Every piano travels in a top of the range, triple-thickness fitted transit cover shaped to the instrument. On grands and baby grands the legs and pedals go into individual padded bags and a heavy-duty crate for the journey, while the body rests on a padded skid board for steady, controlled movement from room to van and back in at the other end. Parking in Muswell Hill and Highgate is mostly Controlled Parking Zone territory, and we arrange the loading dispensation before the move.
