The Basics of Our Student Removals City University London Service
City University London attracts students from across the UK and around the world. Many arrive with more belongings than they expected and leave with even more. The area around Northampton Square is busy, with narrow streets and strict parking controls. You need a removal service that knows the area and plans ahead.
Giant Van has worked in Clerkenwell and the wider EC1 postcode for years. Our drivers know which streets have loading restrictions, where the closest bays are, and how to move quickly without causing hold-ups.
We bring the right vehicle for the job, whether that is a transit van for a single room or a larger luton for a full flat clearance.
Students moving out of halls or private lets near City University trust us because we are upfront about costs. There are no hidden fees. You get a price before we start. Our app lets you track the van on the day so you are never left guessing.
We carry full goods-in-transit insurance, which matters when you are moving a laptop, musical instrument, or anything else of value.
End-of-term is our busiest period around EC1. Book early to secure your slot. We offer early morning and evening appointments to work around lectures and hand-in deadlines. Our crew are professional, careful, and fast. They wrap fragile items without being asked. A typical student room move from Northampton Square to north London takes around two hours from start to finish.
Getting the Details Right for Student Removals City University London
Many City University students live east of campus, in Bethnal Green, Hackney, Stepney Green, and Whitechapel.
The commute into Northampton Square is easy on the Central or Metropolitan line. When it comes to moving, though, lugging boxes on the Tube is not an option.
Our man with a van east London service bridges that gap.
We collect from your east London address and deliver wherever you need, whether that is back to your family home, a new flat share, or a storage unit. The same applies in reverse.
If you are starting at City University and moving from east London to a property near campus, we handle it all.
A man with a van costs from £54 per hour.
Most single-room moves take one to two hours, depending on access and the amount of stuff. Let us know about the stairs in advance and they're already reflected in the quote; nothing extra is added because of them. Large furniture, flat-pack beds, and bulky wardrobes are no problem.
Our crew disassemble and reassemble items at no extra cost on most bookings.
East London has its own parking quirks.
Tower Hamlets and Hackney both run strict permit zones. Our drivers hold the relevant knowledge and carry loading bay authorisation cards for common areas. We aim to park within five minutes walk of your front door. For very tight streets, we use smaller vehicles that still carry a full room's worth of possessions.

Regions Covered for Student Removals City University London
One of the most common complaints about removal companies is unclear pricing.
Extra charges appear on the day, fuel levies are added after the fact, and the final bill is nothing like the quote.
Giant Van works differently.
We give you a fixed price or a clear hourly rate before we start, and we stick to it.
For man with a van bookings, our rate starts at £54 per hour.
This covers the driver and the vehicle.
For moves requiring a second pair of hands, an additional crew member can be added.
Most studio and one-bedroom moves fall in the one to two hour range, making the effective cost very manageable for students on a budget.
For larger home moves, our pricing reflects the size of the property.
A one-bedroom flat move typically costs between £250 and £400.
A two-bedroom property runs from £400 to £650.
Three-bedroom homes range from £650 to £900.
These prices include the crew, the vehicle, and all standard equipment such as blankets, straps, and trolleys.
Packing materials can be added for an extra charge if needed.
Business relocations are quoted separately after a site survey.
The scope of commercial moves varies too widely for a standard rate card.
We will always give you a written quote before work begins.
Message us in the live chat or use our online booking tool to get an instant estimate.
We accept card payments and bank transfer.
No cash required.
A Note From Our Drivers
Our drivers navigate local streets daily, handling everything from narrow terraced house access to large detached properties. Every move is treated with care because our reputation depends on it.
