Moving in Colchester
Colchester's man and van demand comes from its position on the London-commuter belt (about 1 hour to Liverpool Street by train) plus the University of Essex and the town's military garrison. The A12 runs north-south through the town and connects to the M25.
The town centre has Roman-wall constraints — some streets are narrow and parking near the High Street and Castle Park is restricted. Dutch Quarter has older properties with tight access. Moves within the town walls need careful parking planning.
Lexden, to the west, has larger Victorian and Edwardian properties with drives. Stanway and Greenstead, to the south and east, have a mix of council-built and private housing. The University of Essex campus at Wivenhoe Park has student accommodation, and the surrounding area of Wivenhoe and Hythe has shared student houses.
There is no Clean Air Zone. Rates start from £19 per hour. Colchester to London moves are common because of the commuter population.
