One local driver who knows the borough from the cobbles below the Cutty Sark to the Peninsula towers, Woolwich Arsenal and the quiet semis of Eltham.
The Royal Borough of Greenwich stretches a long way along the south bank of the Thames, and it changes completely as you cross it. By the river you have Maritime Greenwich, the World Heritage Site with the Cutty Sark, the Old Royal Naval College, the market and the steep climb through the park to the Observatory. Next door the Greenwich Peninsula wraps the O2 in new high-rise towers and the cable car, while downriver Woolwich has been remade around the Royal Arsenal, the new Elizabeth line and the free ferry. Inland sit the Georgian village of Blackheath, the riverside industry of Charlton, the 1930s suburbs of Eltham and the waterside estates of Thamesmead. The postcodes tell the same story: SE10 for Greenwich and the Peninsula, SE3 for Blackheath and Kidbrooke, SE7 for Charlton, SE9 for Eltham, SE18 for Woolwich and Plumstead, and SE28 out at Thamesmead.
That spread is exactly why a borough-wide man and van earns its keep here. We move a one-bed off Royal Hill, a sofa collected near the O2, a flat cleared at Woolwich Arsenal or a family downsizing in Eltham, all with the same vetted, friendly driver door to door. Every load is covered by goods-in-transit insurance and we hold a full 5.0 on Google. Pricing holds steady borough-wide: £30 per hour plus £1.50 per mile, a £50 minimum and absolutely no hidden fees.
Access in Greenwich swings from medieval cobbles to marshalled tower loading bays. Around Maritime Greenwich the streets near the Cutty Sark, King William Walk and Greenwich Church Street are narrow, cobbled and thick with pedestrians and market crowds, with the steep park hill up to the Observatory ruling out easy parking. Main arteries like Trafalgar Road, Woolwich Road and the A206 carry bus lanes and red-route stretches where you cannot stop, so we load from quieter side streets. The Peninsula and Woolwich Arsenal towers usually have booked goods lifts and loading bays, while Eltham, Blackheath and Thamesmead bring controlled residential bays.
For a bigger move on a busy bay we can advise on a short Royal Borough of Greenwich removals dispensation, which takes a few days to arrange. The borough sits inside the ULEZ, but our vans are fully ULEZ-compliant, so there is no emission surcharge anywhere across SE3, SE7, SE9, SE10, SE18 or SE28, and there is no Congestion Charge out here either. Tell us the exact address, floor and access and we will have the kerbside time worked out before the day.
The borough's housing is a genuine mix. Around Maritime Greenwich and Blackheath you find Georgian and early Victorian terraces and villas with grand but steep staircases; the Peninsula and Woolwich Arsenal are walls of new-build high-rise flats with lifts, concierge desks and loading docks. Charlton and Westcombe Park add Victorian and Edwardian terraces on the valley slopes, Eltham and Kidbrooke bring 1930s suburban semis and newer Kidbrooke Village apartments, and Thamesmead is mostly estate flats and walk-ups.
Each needs a different approach: period houses want beds and wardrobes dismantled and heavy pieces hand-balled down the stairs, tower flats need lift-booking and trolley work to the dock, and suburban semis are usually a fuller but flatter carry. We bring straps, blankets and tools as standard. Flag stairs, a lift or a tricky doorway when you book and we will come equipped.
Here are the moves the Royal Borough asks us for most, all on the same fixed rate and the same friendly driver.
Door-to-door man and van across every part of Greenwich. Pick your neighbourhood for local detail:
All of it. We work right across the Royal Borough, from Maritime Greenwich and the Peninsula (SE10) through Blackheath and Kidbrooke (SE3), Charlton (SE7), Eltham (SE9), Woolwich and Plumstead (SE18) and out to Thamesmead (SE28). Same driver and same pricing wherever you are.
No. The whole Royal Borough sits well outside the central Congestion Charge zone, including riverside spots like the Peninsula and Woolwich, so there's no daily charge on your move. Greenwich is inside the ULEZ, but our vans are fully ULEZ-compliant, so there's no emission surcharge to pass on either.
Often, yes. We're open Monday to Saturday, 08:00 to 19:00, and same-day and next-day slots are regularly available across the borough. Call 07550 145313 with your pickup, drop-off and a rough list of what's moving and we'll tell you what we can fit in.
It's £30 per hour plus £1.50 per mile, with a £50 minimum and no hidden fees, the same across SE3, SE7, SE9, SE10, SE18 and SE28. Your goods are covered by goods-in-transit insurance and you get one vetted driver door to door. Send the addresses for a free quote.
Yes. We move everything from Georgian terraces on the cobbled streets below the Cutty Sark and up Blackheath's hills to high-rise flats on the Peninsula and at Woolwich Arsenal. We dismantle beds and wardrobes, book goods lifts, and bring straps and blankets to protect your furniture and the building.
