Your van and driver in Tower Hamlets

How it works, what it costs and who turns up.

01

What a van and driver is

A van, a driver, a fixed price – and no bidding.

A van and driver is the middle ground between hiring a van yourself and booking a removals firm.

02

Van and driver versus man and van

Same idea, better promise.

"Man and van" is what people search for; it usually means one person with their own van, quoted on the phone, paid in cash, and you hope they turn up.

03

What fits in each van

We measure in wheelie bins. One bin's worth is about eight bin bags.

Picture a wheelie bin. One bin's worth is a few boxes and bags. Two is a fridge or a washing machine with room to spare. Four is a room.

04

How the price works

Fixed prices, the same everywhere.

A move's price depends on how much is moving, not where you live. A wheelie bin's worth is £69 anywhere in England; a full load is £349 in Salisbury, Sheffield or Southend.

05

Who turns up

Checked, insured, rated – and paid properly.

Every driver is an independent partner who has shown us their licence, their hire-and-reward insurance, goods-in-transit and public liability cover, and their right to work, before they're offered a single job.

06

Lifting, stairs and awkward things

Two people when the job needs them, at no extra cost.

We decide from what you're moving: a sofa, a wardrobe, a fridge, or a medium load and up gets two people, and that's already in the price. There's nothing to choose and nothing extra to pay.

07

Booking, changing and cancelling

Two minutes to book. Change it yourself up to 48 hours before.

Book online for today (until 3pm; after that, tomorrow from 1pm) or any day up to about six months ahead, by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay.

08

Same day? Yes, until 3pm.

Today, if you book by 3pm.

Book before 3pm and you can pick today: the earliest one-hour arrival is the hour after next (book at 10:20 and it's 12 to 1), if a partner's free. After 3pm, the earliest is 1pm tomorrow.

Good to know.

About Tower Hamlets

Tower Hamlets at a glance

Moving around this part of London usually means hopping between the four local postcode districts of E14, E1, E3 and E2, using Limehouse station 0.4 miles from the centre to time key pick‑ups and drop‑offs. Student term dates shape a lot of scheduling, with Queen Mary University of London 0.4 miles away, the University of Cumbria in London 0.8 miles and Queen Mary Universtiy Whitechapel Campus 1 mile, so shared flats often need careful loading plans, stair carries and timed access. New furniture and flat‑pack collections are straightforward thanks to Anchor Retail Park at 0.6 miles, plus Surrey Quays Shopping Centre at 1.6 miles and Boxpark Shoreditch at 1.7 miles, which makes same‑day rounds practical when coordinating multiple stops. Loads into and out of self storage are common too, with Big Yellow Self Storage 1.2 miles from the centre, Attic Self Storage 1.3 miles, Storage Solutions 1.5 miles and Storebox 1.8 miles, so it is easy to stage a move in phases or clear space before a renovation. For decluttering, Tower Hamlets Reuse and Recycling Centre sits 1.6 miles from the centre, handy for tip runs of old furniture, garden waste and clutter when a tenancy ends or a room is being refitted. Typical jobs here include house and flat moves to and from the towns nearby, flat moves within the town itself, single items such as a sofa, a bed, a wardrobe or a washing machine, flat‑pack and furniture collected from the retail parks, loads into and out of self storage and student moves at the start and end of term. With short urban distances between postcodes, universities, storage sites and the recycling centre, careful booking windows, lift measurements and parking notes help everything run smoothly across E14, E1, E3 and E2.

Tower Hamlets had 311,072 people at the 2021 Census. Furniture and flat-pack from Anchor Retail Park, Surrey Quays Shopping Centre and Boxpark Shoreditch is a common single-item run. The council's nearest recycling centre is Tower Hamlets Reuse and Recycling Centre, 1.6 miles away; a tip run with us goes to a licensed recycling centre, with the disposal in the price.
