Student Housing We Move
Understanding the property mix helps us plan the right crew size, van, and equipment for your move.
What to Expect From a Goldsmiths Student Move
Goldsmiths, University of London sits in the heart of New Cross, SE14. The main campus runs along Lewisham Way, with student accommodation spread across New Cross Gate, Deptford, and Brockley. Moving in and out of this area presents specific challenges. Parking near the campus is limited, particularly on Lewisham Way and New Cross Road.
Our drivers plan every move carefully, arriving early to secure a spot and avoid traffic build-up on the A2.
The campus has several student residences you may need to move into or out of. Raymont Hall on Erlang Road is one of the closest, just a short walk from the main teaching buildings. Loring Hall and David Clulow House are also popular first-year options.
Private halls such as Canvas and iQ New Cross sit within a mile of campus and see heavy move-in activity at the start of September and October. We work with students at all of these locations.
Our vehicles range from small transit vans up to large Luton box vans with tail lifts. If you are moving from a studio or shared room, a Man and Van service from £54 per hour is usually enough.
If you have furniture accumulated over a full year or are moving out of a two-bedroom shared house with multiple tenants, a larger vehicle with a two-person crew is better value. We can advise you on the right option when you call or book online.
Parking and Loading Sorted at Goldsmiths
Goldsmiths students rarely live on campus for their full time at university.
Most move into private rentals in New Cross, Brockley, Honor Oak, or further into South East London after their first year. These areas have a mix of Victorian terraced houses, converted flats, and new-build blocks. Staircase access, narrow hallways, and no lifts are common.
Our crews are experienced in handling these situations without damage to your belongings or the property.
New Cross and New Cross Gate are the most popular streets for student rentals close to Goldsmiths.
Pagnell Street, Erlang Road, and the roads off Queens Road see heavy turnover every July and September. If you are moving within this postcode, a local Man and Van is the quickest and most affordable solution.
We offer bookings from 7am and same-day availability when our schedule allows.
Students moving from further afield, such as North London, Essex, or outside London entirely, often need a larger removal service.
A one-bedroom flat move typically costs between £250 and £400 with Giant Van. A two-bedroom house move runs from £400 to £650. These are fixed, transparent prices with no hidden charges.
You will receive a confirmed quote before we arrive, so there are no surprises on the day.
Our app lets you track your driver in real time so you know exactly when to expect us.

Local Student Removals Goldsmiths University of London Coverage
A common problem for Goldsmiths students is the gap between tenancies.
Your old tenancy might end on 1 July, but your new flat does not become available until 15 July.
That leaves two weeks where your belongings have nowhere to go.
Giant Van offers short-term storage solutions to bridge exactly this kind of gap.
We can move your belongings directly from your old address into secure, dry storage and then deliver them to your new home when it is ready.
This avoids the need to move twice with separate companies.
One booking, one fixed price, and one point of contact handles everything.
Storage units are available in a range of sizes.
A single student room's worth of belongings typically fits into a 25 to 50 square foot unit.
Larger shared house moves require more space, and our team will advise you on the right size when you call.
Storage is priced per week and can be extended if your move-in date changes.
There are no penalties for extending your storage period with reasonable notice.
This service is particularly useful for international students who return home during the summer and need somewhere secure to leave their belongings rather than shipping everything abroad and back again.
Message us on live chat to discuss combining your move with a storage period.
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.
