Crawley at a glance
Crawley sits between two rail stations, Crawley and Three Bridges, both under a mile from the centre, with County Mall retail park closer still at just 0.3 miles away. That kind of compact layout, spanning the RH10 and RH11 postcode districts, is why so many house moves and furniture deliveries here involve short hops across town rather than long hauls, though plenty of moves also head out towards Horley or Crawley Down. Van & Driver is opening soon in Crawley, bringing a marketplace for booking a van with a driver at a fixed price, alongside a more traditional man and van service for smaller loads. The idea is straightforward: rather than negotiating rates or waiting in for a quote, customers will be able to see a set price upfront for the move they need doing, whether that's a full house removal, a single item collected from storage at somewhere like Shurgard or Storage King, or a next-day delivery across the district. Once live, the service will cover the full range of moving needs in the town, from student removals and commercial courier work to tip runs and marketplace deliveries. Local partner drivers will carry out the moves themselves, with Van & Driver handling the booking and pricing side, so residents can plan a move without the usual back and forth. Details on coverage and availability for Crawley will follow as partners come on board.
Crawley had 120,567 people at the 2021 Census. The nearest hospital is Crawley Hospital, 0.8 miles away.
