Knocking on doors and asking politely.
Combined with get there early, hope there's a space and stick wheelie bins, cones, etc there and hope for the best.
Obviously, your next part of the fun and games is trying to get a parking permit for the removal van before you move in. Haringey are keen on their parking fines.

Haringey require 2 weeks for parking suspension and won't consider anything attempting to be booked in less time... I tried, and it's unavailable (they're just not interested).
The council have to give a minimum of 2 weeks notice to the cars already parked there in case the owners are on holiday.
Speak to the neighbours and let them know when you need the spaces and everyone should sort themselves out.
One of the neighbours might also have a temporary permit you can buy off them (assuming they still use paper permits and those permits are valid for big vehicles like removal trucks...)

possibly too late for this, but we have acquired a no parking cone or two and are down the road.
Failing that, park in the spot you want then move at the right time

How does one reserve the parking on a residential street for the removal truck?
We exchanged and completed in 6 working days and will have moved in 8 working days, and Haringey require 2 weeks for parking suspension and won't consider anything attempting to be booked in less time... I tried, and it's unavailable (they're just not interested).
The road we move to is single vehicle wide once you account for parked cars... so I imagine I'm just blocking the road for a few hours :shrug
But is there another way? Some trick to identifying who owns cars and asking them to move on the day and then somehow preserving that space until the truck arrives?
