Student Moves Bournemouth to London
End of term, start of term, or a mid-year move — a man with a van from Bournemouth halls and house shares up to London.
What do you need help with?
Pick the closest option — we'll fine-tune the details next.
Most student moves between Bournemouth and London are a room's worth of belongings rather than a household — a bed's worth of bedding, boxes of books, a desk lamp, a bike, and the clothes that somehow doubled in volume since September. That usually means one person and a medium van rather than a full crew, which is the cheapest way this job can be done.
The cost is built from a £25 call-out (£45 on Sundays), £40 an hour for one person, £65 for two, and £1.20 a mile beyond the first ten. Stairs are £8 a flight, and in halls that is the line worth reading twice — a fourth-floor room with a single lift shared by everyone else moving out on the same day is genuinely slower than the drive to London.
Two things save students real money on this run. The first is sharing: if a housemate is also heading to London or anywhere near it, one van doing both is far cheaper than two separate jobs, and we are happy to plan it that way. The second is timing. Late June and mid-September are when every hall in Winton, Talbot and Wallisdown empties at once, the parking disappears, and our diary genuinely fills weeks ahead. Book early and you get the slot you want at the normal rate.
We collect from halls and house shares across Winton, Charminster, Wallisdown and the Talbot campus area, and drop anywhere in London. Tell us the floor, the lift situation and roughly how many boxes, and we will give you a straight figure. Call 07879 168 829.

Student Moves Bournemouth to London is about 110 miles each way. That is 200 billable miles at £1.20 = £240, plus roughly 6.25h of driving time. Loading and unloading is on top, and that is the part that varies most.
On a long run the travel is a real cost, but the loading and unloading is still what varies most — how much there is, how many of us it takes and how long the carry runs at each end. Tell us those and we'll give you a figure before you book, not after the job.
