A local driver who knows Kennington's Oval cricket ground, the elegant Georgian terraces off Kennington Road and the streets around Kennington Park.
Kennington is the dignified, village-like pocket of SE11 just south of the river, best known to the world for the Oval cricket ground but loved locally for its handsome Georgian and early-Victorian terraces. The streets around Kennington Road, Cleaver Square and Kennington Park hold some of the finest period architecture in inner south London, while the area's position, minutes from Westminster, Vauxhall and the City, makes it a quietly prized address. Kennington Park provides the green heart, and the Oval and Kennington Tube stations keep it well connected.
The moves match the housing: a flat shifted from a Georgian terrace off Kennington Road, a single sofa carried up a period conversion near Cleaver Square, a one-bed cleared near the Oval, or a family downsizing from a town house. The same vetted driver carries your move the whole way, every item is protected by goods-in-transit insurance, and we're rated 5.0 on Google. The rate stays consistent: £30 per hour plus £1.50 per mile, a £50 minimum and no hidden fees, whether you're moving within SE11 or over the river into town.
Kennington's main routes are the ones to keep clear of. Kennington Road, Kennington Park Road and Kennington Lane are busy bus-heavy through-routes with red-route stretches and loading limits, so we load from the quieter Georgian grid behind. Streets like Cleaver Square, Courtenay Street and Cardigan Street sit in a controlled parking zone with permit-only bays and the narrow, cobbled-feel carriageways of a period quarter, where access has to be planned with care.
For a fuller move that needs a permit bay we can advise on a short Lambeth Council removals dispensation, best arranged a few days ahead. Importantly, Kennington Lane forms the southern edge of the central Congestion Charge zone, but Kennington itself sits outside the zone, so no daily charge applies to your move here. Kennington is inside the ULEZ, but our vans are fully ULEZ-compliant, so there's no emission surcharge either. Where a flat sits in a tall Georgian terrace, we'll plan the nearest legal stopping point and hand-carry from there. Tell us the address, floor and any stairs when you book.
Kennington's stock is led by its Georgian and early-Victorian terraces, elegant town houses and the period conversions made from them, with tall, narrow staircases and fine original features to protect. Around the edges there are mansion blocks, some handsome post-war estates near Kennington Park, and a scattering of newer apartments. The Georgian houses mean heavier period furniture carried up steep, winding stairs.
We tailor the method to the building: dismantling beds and wardrobes, hand-balling sofas down the tall terrace staircases, and wrapping everything to protect both the furniture and the original cornicing and paintwork. For mansion blocks and estate flats we work to the lift where there is one. Flag the property type, floor and any stairs when you book and we'll come equipped and allow the right time.
The Kennington moves we're asked for most, all on the same honest rate.

All of SE11 around Kennington: the Oval and the streets near the cricket ground, the Georgian terraces off Kennington Road, Cleaver Square and the roads around Kennington Park. Wherever your Kennington move is, it's the same driver and the same pricing.
No. Kennington Lane forms the southern boundary of the central Congestion Charge zone, but Kennington itself sits just outside it, so there's no daily charge on your move. It's inside the ULEZ, but our vans are fully ULEZ-compliant, so there's no emission surcharge either.
Yes, that's much of our Kennington work. Those Georgian town houses have tall, narrow staircases and fine original features, so we dismantle beds and wardrobes, hand-ball sofas carefully, and wrap everything in blankets to protect both the pieces and the period paintwork.
Often, yes, especially for a single item or a smaller flat. We're open Monday to Saturday, 08:00 to 19:00, and same-day and next-day slots are usually available across SE11. Call 07550 145313 with your addresses and what's moving for the earliest slot.
The roads by the Oval and along Kennington Park Road are busy red-route and bus-lane stretches where stopping is restricted. We load from the quieter Georgian streets behind, like Cleaver Square or Courtenay Street, and for a longer load we can advise on a short Lambeth Council dispensation.
