Moving in London — what to know
Local considerations for your man with a van in London.
- ✓Most of Greater London is inside the ULEZ zone — ask your driver if their van is compliant (non-compliant vans pay £12.50/day). The Congestion Charge (£15/day) applies if your route passes through central London.
- ✓Residential street parking in inner London is almost always permit-only. For loading outside your property, you'll need a parking bay suspension — apply to your borough council at least 5 working days ahead.
- ✓Many London properties are converted Victorian houses with narrow staircases and no lift. Mention any access issues in your job description so drivers can price accurately.
- ✓End-of-month dates are the most popular for London moves due to tenancy cycles. Book at least 3 weeks in advance for Friday or Saturday moves.

Man with a van FAQ — London
Do I need a full removal company or will a man with a van do?
For moves up to about 2 bedrooms, a man with a van is usually all you need — and significantly cheaper than a full removal firm. For larger house moves with lots of furniture, you may want a Luton van or a driver with a helper. Describe your load when posting and drivers will advise.
How much does a man with a van cost in London?
Prices vary based on the size of the job, distance, and how many drivers bid. By posting on We Got The Move, London drivers compete for your job which drives prices down. You only pay £9.99 to accept the quote you like — the rest goes directly to the driver.
Can I get a man with a van at short notice in London?
Yes — many drivers on We Got The Move are available at short notice. Post your job with your preferred date and Greater London drivers will respond. Same-day and next-day bookings are possible depending on availability.
Which areas of London do drivers cover?
Drivers cover all London postcodes (EC, WC, E, N, NW, SE, SW, W) and typically cover Croydon, Bromley, Harrow and the wider Greater London area. Each driver sets their own operating radius, so coverage can extend well beyond the city centre.
