If you are planning a move around Eltham Palace, the route matters more than most people expect.

Moving a few rooms, a studio flat, or the contents of a small family home can look simple on paper. Then the boxes appear, the stairs feel steeper than you remembered, and the clock starts moving faster than you do.

Moving home around Eltham High Street can feel straightforward on paper, then suddenly a bit more complicated once you start dealing with parking, timing, flats above shops, narrow loading spots, and the general bustle of a busy high street.
