Removal companies in London

Hi,

I am ready to move pretty quickly here, and I am wondering if anyone can reccomend a removal company for London? I have 1 large suitcase, 1 small, a TV, etc. A pretty small move really, but across 9 miles.

Thanks 

i'm not too sure i would look into a removal company.  if you only have small things (no furniture), how about getting a taxi?  it might sound funny...but it might also save you a few quid (i can't take credit for the idea tho cuz i know someone who did it...i can only take the credit for the suggestion ;-) )

or if you didn't want to call a taxi, you could consider hiring a car for the day.  if you rent a 4-door and you are the only passenger, i'm sure you could fit a load of stuff in it, as well as in the boot.  that should only be about 30 quid (or less).  you could get a friend or two to help you load your stuff and then you could unload it yourself (assuming you didn't have anything that was overly heavy).

Well, I found this:

and this:

The only thing is that I am not supposed to carry weight because of a back injury. and £35 is really good for 9 miles, and the man. (the other one is £58, which is still quite good).

The minicab people won't take luggage, and Black Taxis...er, avoid this part of London. 

Thanks so far, though.

I'd definitely suggest someone like the friendlymovers people.  We moved recently and went with a similar local company -- they only charged us 120 for a full house move and had the entire thing done in less than 2 hours.  The arrived at the old house around 10:30 and we were completely moved into the new house before noon.  Not a scratch on anything!

What about some strong friends? Or coworkers? Take them out for a pint afterwards, and I'm sure they'd be happy to help you!

Good suggestion, H!  Sprigged, you're surrounded by college boys -- they'll move you for a couple of pints!
