In 1983 the landlords of 7 Moreton Street wished to develop the site, and once more L.R.T.S. was looking for a new home. A basement flat was found in Tachbrook Street, a few hundred yards away from Moreton Street. This tie the move was not quite so traumatic and again volunteers did the cleaning, decorating and furniture removal. Marie somehow managed all the upheaval of the various moves without any disruption to the Telephone Service.
During the year that L.R.T.S. was at Moreton Street and Tachbrook Street, London Region had been set up. More Intergroups had re-formed themselves and G.S.O had moved to York.
In 1986 L.R.T.S. yet again found itself looking for new premises, the building in Tachbrook Street having been sold. At the same time the ease for 11 Redcliffe Gardens was put back on the market. Negotiations were entered into and the L.R.T.S. was able to lease the premises formerly occupied by G.S.O. In December 1986 L.R.T.S. moved back into Redcliffe gardens. It had come back full-circle, but this time occupied the premises as lessee.
