Why Our Student Removals St Georges University of London Stands Out
St George's University of London sits on Cranmer Terrace in Tooting, SW17.
It is one of the UK's leading medical schools and the only university dedicated entirely to health sciences.
Students arrive from across the UK and overseas at the start of each academic year, typically in late September and early October.
The campus is close to Tooting Broadway and Tooting Bec Underground stations on the Northern line.
That makes it very well connected to central London.
However, it also means the surrounding streets are busy and parking is limited.
If you are moving into private halls or student accommodation nearby, you need a removal company that knows these roads.
Most St George's students live within a short radius of the campus.
Popular areas include Tooting itself, Balham, Streatham, Mitcham, and Colliers Wood.
Many students rent shared houses in these neighbourhoods because they offer lower rents than Zone 2 areas further north.
Giant Van operates daily in SW17 and the surrounding south London postcodes.
Our drivers know the residential streets around Tooting Broadway, the one-way systems near Upper Tooting Road, and the parking restrictions on roads close to the campus.
We handle moves efficiently without causing disruption to your neighbours or your schedule.
If you are a first-year arriving from halls of residence in freshers' week, or a postgraduate relocating between properties mid-year, we can accommodate your timeline.
We offer flexible booking including same-day slots when available.

Access and Delivery Planning at St Georges
St George's does not operate a large campus-based hall system in the traditional sense.
Most students find private rented accommodation within walking or cycling distance of the university. The most popular areas are detailed below.
Tooting SW17 is the most convenient location.
Rents are reasonable for London, and you are within fifteen minutes of the campus on foot. Streets such as Fishponds Road, Longley Road, and Cavendish Road are popular with students. Giant Van covers every road in SW17 and can reach you quickly.
Balham SW12 is a short bus or tube ride from the campus.
It has a lively high street and a strong community feel. Many St George's students move here in their second or third year when they want more space. One-bedroom flats and shared houses are both available.
Streatham SW16 offers lower rents than neighbouring Tooting and Balham.
The area has improved significantly in recent years. Students who need extra space for revision or who are studying alongside clinical placements at St George's Hospital often choose Streatham.
Mitcham CR4 and Colliers Wood SW19 attract students who want larger houses at lower cost.
Commuting time to campus is around twenty minutes by bus. Giant Van regularly handles moves between these areas and the SW17 campus zone.
We also cover Clapham SW4, Brixton SW9, and Wimbledon SW19 for students who prefer those locations.

Storage is available in any size from a single locker for boxes up to a full room's worth of furniture.
For students finishing their studies and moving out of London, storage gives you a flexible option. You can move out of your flat at the end of your tenancy, store everything with us, and collect it once you have secured a new property.
Boxes and packing materials are available to purchase if you prefer to pack yourself. We sell double-walled boxes in multiple sizes, wardrobe boxes for hanging clothes, and specialist boxes for fragile items such as mirrors and art.
