A local driver who knows Nunhead's village cluster on Evelina Road, the Magnificent Seven cemetery and the terraces above Peckham Rye.
Nunhead is the quiet, characterful corner of SE15 east of Peckham, long overlooked and all the better for it. Its defining landmark is Nunhead Cemetery, one of London's Magnificent Seven Victorian cemeteries, a 52-acre wooded site with its main gate on Linden Grove. The little village cluster of shops and cafés sits on Evelina Road, the station is on Gibbon Road, and the streets rise towards Telegraph Hill and Honor Oak, with Peckham Rye Common and Park a short walk west. It's a tight-knit, increasingly sought-after neighbourhood of Victorian terraces.
The moves are classic SE15: a first flat shifted off Evelina Road, a one-bed conversion carried up near the station, a sofa collected close to the cemetery, or a family settling into a terrace above Peckham Rye. One vetted driver runs your Nunhead move from kerb to door, every load travels under goods-in-transit insurance, and we hold a 5.0 rating on Google. The price holds firm across the area: £30 per hour plus £1.50 per mile, a £50 minimum and no hidden fees.
Nunhead is mostly residential, which keeps access calmer than central Peckham, but the streets are permit-controlled and narrow. The village cluster on Evelina Road, plus roads like Gibbon Road by the station and Linden Grove by the cemetery, sit in a controlled parking zone with permit-only bays and the tight carriageways of a Victorian grid. The hill up towards Telegraph Hill and Honor Oak adds a gradient on some streets, which we factor into the carry.
There's no Congestion Charge in Nunhead, the central zone is far to the north, so there's no daily charge on your move. The area is inside the ULEZ, but our vans are fully ULEZ-compliant, so there's no emission surcharge either. For a bigger load on a permit bay we can advise on a short Southwark Council removals dispensation, arranged a few days ahead. On the narrower or steeper streets we plan the nearest legal stopping point and hand-carry. Tell us the address, floor and whether it's uphill when you book.
Nunhead is overwhelmingly Victorian terraced housing, a mix of whole family houses and one- and two-bed upper and lower conversions, with a scattering of newer flats near the station. The houses mean a generally straightforward but full carry; the conversions bring the familiar steep stairs, narrow hallways and bay-window turns where a sofa has to come out the way it went in. Some streets rise towards Telegraph Hill, adding a slope.
For whole-house moves we bring extra hands where needed and dismantle beds, wardrobes and garden furniture; for conversions we hand-ball sofas and mattresses down the stairs and protect the shared areas. We bring plenty of blankets and straps as standard. Flag the property type, floor, any stairs and whether the street is on the hill when you book, and we'll size the job correctly.
The Nunhead moves we handle most, all on the same fixed rate.
