Things to Know Before Your Exeter Move

High Street is bus-only so meet at Haven Banks and walk kit in

The High Street carries buses all day and has frequent closures for works. You can't load from it. If your flat sits just off the High Street, meet your van at a surface car park and walk items in. Cathedral & Quay caps at 1.96 m, which rules out most removal vans. Haven Banks is open-air with no height restriction and makes an easy base. Share the meet point and walking route with our removal companies when you book.

Queen Street layouts changed in 2025 so recheck the week before

Taxi and loading spaces near Exeter Central were reworked permanently after pandemic trials. If your building fronts Queen Street or you're collecting keys near the station, send your movers a fresh pin and confirm which bay they can use. Check the council works page the week of your move so you don't turn up to a space that no longer exists.

Avoid Wonford Road or the bus gate camera will catch you

Sat-navs try to route vans through Heavitree and Wonford, but the Wonford Road bus gate is enforced by cameras from July 2025. If you're heading from the M5 or RD&E side, set your sat-nav to avoid bus lanes and share a gate-free route using the A379 and Inner Bypass instead. A £60 PCN on moving day adds insult to injury.

Multi-storeys cap at 1.80–1.98 m so use surface car parks

Guildhall caps at 1.80 m, John Lewis at 1.93 m, and Princesshay 2 at 1.95 m. Princesshay Summerland Gate is slightly taller at 1.98 m but still catches larger vans. Tell your movers to use Haven Banks or Station Road Exwick instead because both are surface sites with no height restriction. Share the exact entrance and check locking times so no one gets shut in after hours.

Check St James Park and Sandy Park fixtures before you pick a date

St James Park matches build traffic on Sidwell Street, York Road and Old Tiverton Road around kick-off and full time. Sandy Park games clog approaches to M5 J30 and the A379. If your move lands on the Great West Run weekend or the Cathedral Christmas Market period, roads near Exeter Arena or Cathedral Green close or fill completely. Check fixture lists and event calendars, then pick an early slot and dodge the hotspots.

Buy trade permits and waivers before moving day

On-street residents' zones cover St Leonards, Newtown and streets near the centre. If you need the van kerbside, buy a daily trade permit (£5) or waiver (£10) so your crew can use residents' or pay-and-display bays by your door. If friends are helping, visitor permits cost £30 per allocation. All are online through Devon County Council. Sort this a few days ahead and send the registration to your movers so they can display it.
