Moving from Lancaster Gate to Paddington looks simple on a map. It is close, the streets are familiar, and the whole journey can feel like it should be over before the kettle has boiled.

If you are trying to move in Paddington and the timing feels messy, you are not alone. One day you need everything out fast; another day you have a bit more breathing room and want the move handled properly.

If you are trying to compare Paddington movers: price, insurance and extras can make the decision feel a lot less straightforward than it first looks.
