From the riverside towers at Bankside to the warehouse lofts of Shad Thames and the Victorian streets of Peckham and Dulwich, a Southwark man and van who plans the lift slot, the loading bay and the Congestion Charge before they become a problem.
Few boroughs pack in as much variety as Southwark. In a single day we might load a converted warehouse off Shad Thames, deliver a sofa up a Peckham terrace and unload a family's worth of furniture into a Dulwich villa. The borough runs from the Thames riverside at Bankside and Borough down through Walworth and Camberwell to leafy East Dulwich and Nunhead, and east to the docks of Bermondsey and Rotherhithe. We cover all of it, postcodes SE1, SE5, SE15, SE16, SE17, SE21 and SE22.
Most of our Southwark moves are renters and first-time buyers shifting between flats, families settling in Dulwich and Camberwell, and single-item runs near the markets and showrooms. People go local because the detail matters here more than most: the difference between a smooth move and a stressful one is knowing which block has a bookable goods lift and where, exactly, the central Congestion Charge zone stops. The rate stays simple: £30 per hour plus £1.50 per mile, £50 minimum, no hidden fees.
Bermondsey and Shad Thames are famous for their converted Victorian warehouses, high ceilings, heavy industrial doors and tight original stairs that reward careful handling. Around Bankside, Borough and Elephant & Castle the skyline is newer: glass apartment towers with concierges, service lifts and loading bays. Head south and the character shifts again to the bay-fronted Victorian terraces of Peckham and Camberwell and the grand period houses of Dulwich and Herne Hill, plus the 1960s and 70s estates around Walworth and the Aylesbury regeneration. We bring the right kit for each and it's always the same insured driver throughout.
Southwark is the one borough we cover where the central Congestion Charge comes into play, but only for the small northern sliver inside the zone, the riverside around Borough, Bankside and Blackfriars Road in SE1. The vast majority of the borough (Peckham, Camberwell, Dulwich, Bermondsey, Rotherhithe) is outside it and no charge applies. Where it does, we tell you upfront and build it into the quote. Our vans are fully ULEZ-compliant too, so there's never an emission charge on top.
For parking, the busy spines, Borough High Street, Rye Lane in Peckham and Camberwell Church Street, carry red routes and controlled parking zones, so we load from side streets and walk it in. The warehouse blocks around Shad Thames sit on cobbled lanes with very limited loading space and a shared goods lift to book. On the quieter Victorian roads around Bellenden in Peckham and across Dulwich, we can usually park close, and where a road is permit-only we'll arrange a removals dispensation from Southwark Council with a few days' notice.

Only if your move touches the small slice of northern Southwark inside the central Congestion Charge zone, the riverside around Borough, Bankside and Blackfriars Road in SE1. Most of the borough (Bermondsey, Peckham, Camberwell, Dulwich, Rotherhithe) is well outside it, so no charge applies. Where the CC does apply, we tell you upfront and build it into the quote, no surprises. Our vans are also fully ULEZ-compliant, so there's never an emission charge on top.
Yes, the converted warehouses around Shad Thames, Bermondsey Street and Butler's Wharf (SE1) are some of our regular jobs. They tend to have heavy industrial doors, tight original staircases or a shared goods lift that needs booking, and cobbled approaches like Shad Thames where loading space is limited. Tell us the building and floor and we'll bring the right kit and plan the loading point.
Rye Lane in Peckham, Camberwell Church Street and Borough High Street (SE1, SE15) are busy with red routes and controlled parking zones, so we load from side streets and walk it in. The Victorian roads around Bellenden in Peckham and the Dulwich (SE21, SE22) streets are calmer. For permit-only roads we can arrange a removals dispensation from Southwark Council with a few days' notice.
£30 per hour plus £1.50 per mile, with a £50 minimum and no hidden fees, the same in Nunhead, Rotherhithe or Walworth. Goods are covered by goods-in-transit insurance, you keep the same driver door to door, and any Congestion Charge (only for the central SE1 riverside) is shown upfront. Send us the details for a free quote.
We do it regularly. The newer towers around Elephant & Castle (SE17), Bankside and One Tower Bridge have service lifts and loading bays that the concierge books for a set window. Give us the building, floor and lift slot and we'll size the load to fit it so the move runs to time.
From a single armchair in Nunhead to a full house in Dulwich Village, we'll move it carefully, on time and at an honest price, Congestion Charge and all, made clear before we start. Rated 5.0 on Google, open Mon–Sat 08:00–19:00, vetted drivers, insured loads.
The same friendly drivers, fixed pricing (£30/hour, £50 minimum) and ULEZ-compliant vans apply to every service we offer in Southwark:
