The Best Removals for Your London Move

With a history of serving since 2013, we come to you with years of valuable moving experience.

Quick answer

For most London moves, a man with a van is the best value. You pay by the hour for a van and one or two movers, which suits single items, flats and smaller homes. For a large, fully furnished house or a big office, a full removals job with a fixed price and a bigger team usually fits better. We do both, so we'll tell you honestly which suits your move.

There's no single "best" way to move in London. The right option depends on how much you're moving, the access at both ends and your budget. This guide explains the choices in plain terms, so you can pick what fits, and we'll always give you an honest steer.

Two ways to move

  • Man with a van. Hourly, flexible, best value for smaller moves.
  • Full removals. Fixed price and a bigger team for large homes and offices.

We do both, so the advice is honest, not a sales pitch for one option.

Man with a van, or full removals?

The simplest way to tell which one fits.

A man with a van suits

  • Single items and furniture pickups
  • Studio, one and two-bed flat moves
  • Student moves and small loads
  • Moves where you pack yourself
  • Jobs where you want to pay by the hour

Full removals suits

  • Larger, fully furnished houses
  • Moves with lots of boxes and big furniture
  • Office and business moves
  • Jobs that need packing done for you
  • Moves where you want a fixed price up front

Still not sure? Tell us what you're moving and we'll recommend the option that saves you money without cutting corners.

The best option by move type

A quick guide for the most common London moves.

A single item

One mover and a van, by the hour. Ideal for a sofa, a bed or a Marketplace pickup across London.

A flat move

One or two movers, depending on the stairs and how much you have. Usually the best-value London move.

A house move

Two movers by the hour for a smaller home, or a fixed-price removal for a larger, fully furnished house.

An office move

Planned around your working day to limit downtime, with the right team and a fixed price.

Whatever you pick, you get the price in writing before you book.

Why choose us for a London move

London moving has its own quirks, and knowing them saves time and money on the day. We move across every borough and deal with these things day in, day out:

  • Permit streets, red routes and bay suspensions.
  • The ULEZ and Congestion Charge, built into your quote.
  • Tight access, stairs and no-lift flats.
  • Busy routes and the best times to travel.

What's included

  • Goods in transit and public liability cover.
  • A written price before you book.
  • Loading, careful driving and unloading.
  • Packing and dismantling, if you want it.

Choosing your London removals: common questions

Quick, honest answers.

For most smaller London moves, a man with a van is the best value, as you pay by the hour. For a large, fully furnished home or an office, a full removals job with a fixed price and a bigger team usually fits better. We do both and will give you an honest steer.

One mover suits single items and small, easy-access moves. Two movers are better for houses, stairs and heavier furniture, and often finish quicker. Tell us what's moving and the access, and we'll suggest the right team.

Yes, every borough, north, south, east, west and central. We also do moves out of London to the rest of the UK. Tell us both postcodes and we'll quote the job.

Yes. We can pack the whole home or just the tricky bits, bring the materials, and take apart and rebuild furniture. Mention it when you get your quote so we allow the time.
