- Medium van (6 to 7m³): Suitable for a 1-bedroom flat. Fits up to 30 medium boxes alongside a double bed, chest of drawers, and basic appliances.
- Large van (about 13m³): Suitable for a 1 to 2 bedroom flat or small 2-bedroom house with average furniture.
- Luton van (16 to 18m³): Suitable for a 2 to 3 bedroom house move, including all furniture, white goods, and boxes.

Use the guide above to work out what fits your move, then select your van size when you book. Blankets, straps and a trolley are standard kit for the trade, so your man and van arrives ready to load. Moving something heavy or awkward like a piano or a wardrobe? Add a note when you enter your job details so the driver you choose knows what to expect.
How Long Should I Book For?
The time you’ll need to book your man with a van service depends on factors like how easy it is to park and access both your pickup and drop-off locations (for example, if there are stairs or how many items you have, which affects the van size), as well as the distance between the two places.
Estimated time: around 3.6 hours

What 680 London Moves Tell Us (Pianos Included)
Beds, boxes and sofas make up most of what leaves London homes. Most of it. Seven pianos went in the back of a van too. The figures:
- Add every London job together and the vans have run 10,381 miles.
- One London customer moved all the way to Warrington. That is 226 miles in one go.
- If you are moving in August, you are moving with everyone else in London.
- Saturday is the busiest day for London moves. If the date is flexible, Wednesday tends to work out cheaper per hour.
- The everyday picture is much more local, with 84% of London moves under 20 miles.
- Not everything out of London is furniture. The list also includes seven pianos, four treadmills and four sewing machines.
- Wembley and Harrow come up again and again as drop-off points for London moves. Well worn routes by now.
- £152 is what an average London move costs across all 680 jobs collected within 20 miles of London, at roughly £56 an hour. That is an average across every van size, so yours will land either side of it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Learn from the moving experts. Can't find an answer? Please check our FAQ page
Moving in London can be challenging due to traffic and parking restrictions.
Your driver arrives within the time slot you pick when you book. If traffic or weather holds them up, they call you directly.
Yes, there is an additional charge for extra time, which will always be shown in the quote and confirmation email. It’s important to allow enough time to cover travel, loading, and unloading. For example: 2-3 seater sofa: ~30 minutes Single room / apartment: ~1 hour 1-2 bedroom flat: ~3+ hours 3-4 bedroom house: ~5+ hours
Yes. Drivers on URemovals take home, office and student moves across London. For a student room of boxes and bags, a small or medium van with customer loading usually does the job.
Pack everything into closed, strong boxes before the driver arrives. Weak boxes can add an hour or two at the van, and you book the van by the hour. Empty drawers, and add any furniture dismantling to your job notes. If your street has controlled parking, book a parking suspension with your council 2 to 4 weeks ahead. Tell us about stairs, lifts and long walks to the door when you book.
You can book four sizes: a small van (3 to 3.5m³) for a studio or single room, a medium van (6 to 7m³) for a 1 bedroom flat, a large van (about 13m³) for a 1 to 2 bedroom flat, and a Luton van (16 to 18m³) for a 2 to 3 bedroom house. Load space varies a little by van model. Not sure which one you need? The van size calculator works it out from your item list.
Yes, you can usually travel with the driver in the van, but it’s best to mention this in your booking description. That way, the service provider can confirm before accepting the job, as it may depend on the van size and their policy.
No, the Congestion Charge and ULEZ fees are not included. If your location is within these zones, you will need to pay this fee to your chosen service provider on top of the quoted price.
Customers are responsible for arranging any necessary parking permits at both the collection and delivery addresses.
Yes, we will ask about this in our booking form. If you do not select the correct number of flights of stairs and the service provider needs to carry your belongings up or down additional stairs, this may result in an extra charge.
Yes, you likely need a parking suspension or dispensation when moving in London if your removal vehicle requires dedicated space in a controlled zone. It is essential for avoiding parking fines or being towed, especially in busy areas. Apply via the local council (or TfL for red routes) 2-4 weeks in advance. How to Get a Moving Van Parking Permit in London (All borough covered)
Yes, if you book early. You can book any slot that starts at least 16 hours after you book, so a booking made at 1am can start from 5pm the same day. Book by 4pm and you can move from 8am tomorrow. Enter your postcodes and date to see which London drivers have that slot free, then book online straight away.
