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.

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?
