Moving into Southampton

Southampton is within easy reach of London, so even larger moves are usually completed comfortably in one day.

Before moving day, check whether your new street in Southampton has parking restrictions, and let us know about narrow roads, steps or long carries so we bring the right vehicle.

Leaving London

The ULEZ covers almost all of Greater London, and the Congestion Charge applies in the centre on weekdays. For your Southampton move, any zone charges are built into the fixed price.

Check your street's parking rules early. Most London boroughs can suspend a bay for moving day if you apply around ten working days ahead.

If you are leaving a flat, check with your managing agent about lift bookings, loading bay times and any rules on moving hours.
