Mayfair moves can look deceptively simple on paper. The postcode is compact, the streets are familiar, and the journey often isn't long.

If you have ever had a move turn urgent by lunchtime, you'll know the feeling: the flat is half-packed, the keys are due back, and the clock is suddenly the boss.

Moving a small flat in W1K sounds simple until you meet the reality of Mayfair: tighter roads, controlled access, basement stairs, on-street loading limits, and neighbours who would quite like a quiet day, thanks very much.

Moving on or near Mount Street in Mayfair can feel wonderfully central and, at the same time, a bit unforgiving.

Moving a piano out of a townhouse off Curzon Street is not the same as shifting a boxed-up sofa from a flat with a lift. Nor is collecting a gilt mirror, a marble table, or a heavy cabinet from a Mayfair basement.

Berkeley Square sits at the refined heart of Mayfair, and moving there is less about distance than precision.
