Student removals in Kensington and Chelsea: a room's worth
How it works round here.
Kensington and Chelsea, Kensington and Chelsea • Student Removals
With Imperial College London and the Royal College of Music both barely half a mile from the centre, Kensington and Chelsea has one of the highest concentrations of students anywhere in the city, most of them moving in and out of houses and halls across SW3, SW7 and W8 with far more stuff than fits in a taxi.
Van & Driver is bringing its Student Removals service to the area soon, designed for exactly this kind of move: boxes and suitcases, a desk and chair, a bike, maybe a small wardrobe, rather than a whole household. The idea is a small van and someone to help carry, at a fixed price agreed before anything is loaded, so there's no meter running while you navigate narrow streets and permit parking near Brompton Cross. Once live, the service will be useful for journeys within the borough itself, or out towards neighbours like the City of Westminster or Hammersmith and Fulham, both close enough to make a single van trip straightforward. For now, coverage in Kensington and Chelsea isn't yet in place, so we can't take bookings here, but the plan is to have local partner drivers ready for the next intake of students settling in, or the summer rush of everyone moving out at once, without the hassle of hiring a full-size van for a single room's worth of belongings.
