Piano moving across St John's Wood and Maida Vale
St John's Wood is one of the most musical addresses in London. The large Victorian and Edwardian villas on Hamilton Terrace, Loudoun Road and Cavendish Avenue, the mansion blocks around Wellington Road and Prince Albert Road, and the detached houses behind St John's Wood High Street are home to an unusually high concentration of serious instruments. The area's connection to music runs deep, and pianos here tend to be looked after carefully and moved with the same care.
Maida Vale, centred on the W9 postcode, is built almost entirely on Edwardian mansion blocks, the distinctive red-brick and stucco buildings that line Elgin Avenue, Castellain Road, Randolph Avenue and the streets running down to the Grand Union Canal at Little Venice. Both postcodes sit inside our London and Greater London coverage. We run the NW8 and W9 area on Wednesdays.
- NW8 and W9 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
Grands, uprights and digital pianos in NW8 and W9
Grand pianos are a routine request in St John's Wood. The scale of the houses on Hamilton Terrace and around Lord's Cricket Ground means there is room for a full grand, and we regularly move Steinway, Bechstein and Yamaha grands in NW8. The Maida Vale mansion blocks tend to house baby grands and upright pianos, where floor area is more limited but the ceilings are high.
We also move digital pianos and Clavinovas throughout both areas. Tell us the make, model and size when you book. For a grand, knowing the length before the day means we plan the access route, the crew size and the vehicle before we arrive.
ACCESS AND PROTECTION
Mansion blocks, villas and transit protection in NW8 and W9
Access varies considerably across the two postcodes. The large detached villas in St John's Wood often have wide entrance halls and generous staircases, but the flight of steps up from the street can be long and the street level change is steep in places. Mansion blocks throughout Maida Vale typically have a lift, but many of the lifts in the older Edwardian blocks are narrow cage lifts that will not take a full upright or any grand. In those cases we use the staircase with our stair-climbing equipment or arrange a crane lift if the staircase is too tight. We check all of this when you book.
Parking across NW8 and W9 is controlled by Westminster City Council. We organise a parking dispensation for every job so the crew can load and unload legally without blocking the street. Stairs and floor level are priced automatically in your online quote, so the price you see at the time of booking is the price you pay. Every piano travels in a top-of-range, triple-thickness fitted transit cover. On grands and baby grands the legs and pedals come off and go into individual padded bags, which are then stowed in a heavy-duty crate for transit.

Questions
Which St John's Wood and Maida Vale postcodes do you cover and on what day?
We cover the whole NW8 postcode, including St John's Wood, Hamilton Terrace, Loudoun Road, Wellington Road and the streets around Lord's Cricket Ground, plus the W9 postcode covering Maida Vale, Little Venice, Elgin Avenue and Castellain Road. The delivery day for both postcodes is Wednesday. Book online at book.pianospeed.com to see the next available slot for your address.
Can you move a grand piano in a Maida Vale mansion block?
Yes. Maida Vale mansion blocks are one of the most common access challenges we handle in W9. Many of the Edwardian cage lifts will not take a piano, so we assess whether to use the staircase with stair-climbing equipment or arrange a crane lift. Stairs are chargeable and calculated automatically in your online quote.
Do you organise parking permits in St John's Wood and Maida Vale?
Yes. NW8 and W9 are Westminster Controlled Parking Zones throughout. We organise a parking dispensation for the relevant street before every move so the crew can load and unload legally. You do not need to arrange this yourself.
Can you move a piano in a St John's Wood villa with a long flight of steps?
Yes. Large houses in St John's Wood often have several steps up from street level and sometimes a further flight inside. We use stair-climbing equipment and piano-trained crews for controlled handling on steps and through tight turns. Stairs are chargeable and priced into your online quote automatically.
