Indicative transit from Dubai is TO CONFIRM: sea transit to London by sea and TO CONFIRM: air transit to London by air, door to door.
London deliveries need planning that other cities do not. We check the ULEZ and Congestion Charge zones, parking suspensions, loading bays, and access restrictions for narrow streets and flats before we dispatch, and we choose the vehicle to match.
For high-rise and apartment deliveries, tell us the floor, whether there is a service lift, and any building booking requirements — most London buildings require a delivery slot to be booked in advance.
