Man and Van Bournemouth to London
Giant Van drives the 105-mile Bournemouth to London route via the M3 and A338 most days of the week. It's the reverse of one of our busiest South Coast corridors — plenty of people move from London to Bournemouth for the beach and lower rents, and just as many move back for work. Studio and one-bed moves start from £149.

The Route North
From Bournemouth, the A338 (the Spur Road) connects straight onto the M27, and from there the M3 runs into London, usually finishing on the A316 or M25 depending on which part of the capital you're headed to.
Traffic is lightest before 7am and after 10am on weekdays.
Friday afternoons and Sunday evenings see the heaviest congestion in both directions as weekend traffic to and from the coast builds up.

Work Out Your Moving CostLoading in Bournemouth
Boscombe and Westbourne are the two Bournemouth neighbourhoods our crews load from most often on this route, both a short hop from the Spur Road.
Beach-adjacent streets can have restricted parking in summer months, so it's worth telling us your exact address when you book so we can plan for any resident-permit or seasonal restrictions.

Why This Route Runs Both Ways
Bournemouth to London movers are usually chasing a specific job in the capital, or moving back in with family after a spell on the coast.
It's also common among younger professionals who tried the seaside lifestyle and found the commute or the job market didn't work out.
London property costs considerably more than Bournemouth, so most movers on this leg downsize their living space.
Getting the Right Price
- 01
We size the vehicle and crew to your inventory, not the other way round — a one-bed flat doesn't need a 7.5-tonne lorry, and a four-bed house won't fit in a transit.
- 02
Tell us your property size and any large or awkward items (pianos, wardrobes that need dismantling, garden furniture) and we'll confirm a fixed price before moving day.
