End of term, switching house-shares, or moving into your first private flat? Our student move teams cover every London postcode, seven days a week. Hourly rates, no hidden fees, and a crew that turns up when it says it will.
Sixty seconds. No obligation. We’ll reply with a clear rate, usually within the hour.
London is home to more than 40 universities and colleges. HESA’s 2024/25 data puts UK higher education enrolment at 2.86 million, and London accounts for a large share of that. Student moves cluster around the major university postcodes: Camden, Islington, Hackney, Clapham and the areas surrounding the large central institutions. Most of those moves don’t need a full removal lorry. A transit van, two capable movers and an honest hourly rate is usually all it takes.
Student moves are booked by the hour with a short minimum. A single room between two north London postcodes might be done in two hours. A full house-share with five sets of furniture will take longer. You get an estimate before you confirm, and the clock stops the moment the job is done. For a single-room job, a man and van is often the most practical option: one driver, one transit van, charged honestly by the hour.
Heading away for the summer? Tenancy ending before the next one starts? Our secure storage service holds your belongings between tenancies, charged by the week. Books, bike, bedding and everything else can be collected from your current address and redelivered when your next tenancy begins. There’s no long contract and no minimum storage period.
Student accommodation in London is competitive and places go quickly. Research from the English Private Landlord Survey 2024 found that 45% of private landlords won’t let to students. In popular areas like Hackney, Brixton and Clapham, demand for student lets is high year-round. We offer same-week and last-minute bookings because that’s often how student moves work.
The main factors are the number of movers you need, the van size and access conditions at both ends. Properties near universities in Islington, Hackney and Camden often have restricted parking and narrow entrances. We account for all of it in your estimate. Tell us the full picture when you book, and the price you’re quoted is the price you pay.
These starting rates give a realistic picture of cost. Every job is quoted individually before you confirm.

Real reviews from students and young Londoners who’ve moved with us.
“Moved my room out of Hackney halls in the morning and into a house-share in Islington by lunchtime. Two guys, one transit van. They carried everything including my bike. Quick job, fair price.”
“Three of us moved out of a Camden house-share at the same time. They gave us one clear price, turned up at 7:30 and had the whole place emptied by 10. Could not have been easier.”
“Needed storage from June to September between tenancies. They collected everything from my flat, kept it safe and delivered it back on the first day of my new tenancy. No stress at all.”
