Evington is a residential suburb in south-east Leicester, located approximately two miles from the city centre and close to both De Montfort University and the University of Leicester. The area is well-connected via Evington Road and the A6 corridor, making it accessible for removal vans travelling to and from the city.
Evington has a high proportion of student rental properties, particularly around Mere Road, Stoughton Road, and the streets connecting to the Clarendon Park and Stoneygate neighbourhoods.
This concentration of shared houses and student flats makes it one of the most active areas for student removals in Leicester during the summer months.
Giant Van covers the whole of Evington, including the quieter residential streets where parking can be more restricted.

Giant Van vs Other Removals Options in Evington
Evington sits in the south-east of Leicester, roughly two miles from the city centre.
The area has a strong residential character with a mix of Victorian terraces, semi-detached homes, and purpose-built student flats close to De Montfort University and the University of Leicester campuses.
This makes it one of the busiest areas for student removals in Leicester, particularly at the start and end of each academic year.
Roads like Evington Road, Mere Road, and Stoughton Road can become congested on popular moving days, which is why booking an overnight man and van Leicester slot often makes sense for residents here.
Giant Van has carried out hundreds of moves in and around Evington over the years.
We know which roads have parking restrictions, where the best vehicle access points are for taller vans, and how to navigate the narrower residential streets without delays.
This local knowledge reduces your moving day stress considerably.
Our packers are trained to assess each room quickly, identify fragile items, and choose the right box or wrap for every piece.
When you combine that expertise with our packing services in Evington Leicester, you get a move that runs smoothly from start to finish.

Professional Packing Services in Evington — FAQs
Do you offer student removals in Leicester year-round?
Yes, we provide student removals in Leicester throughout the year, not just during term time. If you are moving into halls in September, relocating mid-year, or heading home after finals in June, our teams are available seven days a week.
We do recommend booking well in advance for the peak July to September window as slots in Evington and across the city fill up quickly during that period.
How much does a packing service in Evington cost?
The cost of packing services in Evington Leicester depends on the number of rooms and the volume of belongings. A one-bedroom student flat typically takes a half-day crew, while a shared four-bedroom house may need a full day and two crew members. We provide itemised written quotes so you know exactly what you are paying for.
Students and first-time movers often find our combined pack-and-move packages better value than booking separately.
Can I book an overnight man and van in Leicester?
Yes. Our overnight man and van Leicester service is available for early morning starts from around 6am and late evening collections finishing by 10pm. This is a popular option for Evington students who need to be out of university accommodation by a set time, or for people moving long distances who want to beat motorway traffic.
Call or book online and simply select an out-of-hours time slot when entering your preferred date.
Do you cover long distance removals from Leicester to other UK cities?
We do. Our long distance removals Leicester service covers moves to London, Manchester, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Cardiff, and everywhere in between. We load your belongings in Evington and deliver directly to your new address. The price is agreed upfront based on distance and volume, with no fuel surcharges added later.
Long distance moves receive the same packing care and itemised inventory as our local jobs.
What packing materials does Giant Van supply?
We bring all packing materials to your Evington address as part of the service. This includes double-walled cardboard boxes in three sizes, wardrobe boxes with hanging rails, mattress covers, mirror and picture boxes, bubble wrap, packing paper, and heavy-duty tape. You do not need to source anything separately.
If you want to pack some items yourself beforehand, we can drop off a box kit in advance at a small additional charge.
How far in advance should I book my removal in Evington?
For a standard local move in Evington, two weeks notice is usually enough outside of peak periods. If you are moving between June and September, which covers the main student removals in Leicester season, we recommend booking four to six weeks ahead.
Long distance removals Leicester benefit from at least three weeks notice to allow us to plan the route and allocate the right size vehicle. Weekend slots at any time of year tend to go faster than weekday ones.
Is my furniture covered during the move?
All Giant Van removals include goods in transit insurance as standard, covering your belongings while they are loaded, in the vehicle, and being unloaded. Our crew use moving blankets and load straps to prevent items shifting in transit.
If you have high-value items such as antiques, specialist equipment, or expensive electronics, let us know at the time of booking so we can discuss additional cover options with you before moving day.
Can you move me from Evington to a storage facility?
Yes. If you need to store belongings between tenancies or during a gap in your student accommodation, we can move items directly to a storage facility in or near Leicester. We work with several local storage providers and can advise on unit sizes based on your volume.
This is a practical option for students completing their studies who need short-term storage before returning to a permanent address.
