Moving Into Halls of Residence - What You Need to Know

Halls of residence in London have specific rules that catch students out every year. Check these before booking

Book your moving slot in advance

Most London university halls allocate specific 2–3 hour slots for move-in. Check your university accommodation portal immediately once your room is confirmed.

Moving hours restriction

Many halls limit moves to 8am–6pm. A move that overruns can result in the van being asked to leave before you finish.

Goods lift booking

Purpose-built student halls with lifts usually have a separate goods lift. Book this separately from your room allocation through the halls office.

Parking suspension permit

Most London university streets are in CPZ zones. Apply to the local council at least 2 weeks before your moving date.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing team, friendly, thorough, patient, sensible, quick and really helpful. I cannot recommend them enough. I needed to move from one rental to another within South West London in zone 2, I hired the sprinter van with 2 men and the team were finished within 2 hours as estimated. Every arrived safely, was unloaded with care, and the team drove safely. Thanks so much for making the journey and painless as possible and I will definitely be using this company the next time I need to move!
