There are so many things to remember when moving out of your existing premises in London. This list isn’t all-inclusive, but will be very helpful to you for starters.
1. Supplier contracts
Terminate all these in time.
If you want to keep the equipment, be careful; some suppliers insist on relocating their own equipment
2. Dilapidations
Redecorating and reinstatement can take quite some time, so sort out dilapidations early
3. Landlord relationship
During your stay, he may not have become your best friend, but keep him sweet as you may need a reference!
4. Managing agents
Make contact with them and resolve issues such as keys etc.
5. Service charge

Cancel any of these and have the meters read.
