Moving out is rarely just a case of packing boxes and handing back the keys. There's the last-minute dust on skirting boards, the oven you meant to sort two weeks ago, and the carpet that somehow looks worse in daylight.

If you live on or near Eton Avenue, you already know the rhythm of the place: a busy London street, elegant homes, regular footfall, and the occasional muddy shoe print that seems to appear out of nowhere.

If you live on or near Belsize Lane, you already know the charm comes with a little reality: older period floors, busy family rooms, hallway traffic, and carpets that seem to hold on to every bit of London life.
