What Southwark customers say about our man and van drivers

See recent feedback from customers who booked a man and van through Compare The Man And Van.
Driver arrived early and packed the van very efficiently. I thought we might have needed two hours but we were done in less than one hour! Will definitely book again next time I move :)
Edward arrived a little late, but it went very smoothly from there. What was most impressive was that he is an extraordinary person who is doing the service for charity. Was great meeting him!
Frank was great. Friendly, professional, punctual (arrived 5 min early), brought a bigger van than I booked as I didn’t know what size I needed, helped us move everything including a heavy sofa down 4 flights of stairs, let us (2 passengers) ride in the van with him. I would definitely use Frank again in future.
Rob was super fast, organised & immaculate while carrying my boxes with care. Very much impressed and definitely ask for him again next time. Thank you!!
Frank was absolutely fantastic - handled everything with care, great communication and timely. Highly recommend
Great songs in the van, shared very interesting stories and carried a lot of the boxes for me
Great service. After a last minute cancellation from a different provider, this company picked up the job at a week’s notice and performed excellently. They were efficient and polite, couldn’t ask for anything more.
Very efficient. Both the driver and his helper were very good. Worked fast. Squeezed everything into the van, even my upright piano (which they didn’t need any help with).
Frank was so helpful and professional. He was fast and very careful with my belongings. He managed my heavy furniture and boxes with ease. Would highly reccommend! Everything was great!

Our trusted drivers know Southwark’s mix of busier routes, controlled parking, and estate or apartment access. That is useful where building layout, parking, or loading access can vary from one address to the next.
Local moving practicalities in Southwark
Southwark combines very dense housing, busy arterial roads and tightly managed parking streets. Stopping space, building access and traffic can all make a short local job less straightforward than it first looks.
Flats and estates shape access
A large share of homes are flats within purpose-built blocks or housing estates, where building entrances, shared stairwells and internal layouts can affect loading.
Controlled parking is common
Many residential areas operate controlled parking zones, especially near busier centres such as London Bridge and Peckham, so checking stopping space in advance can help avoid delays.
Busy roads affect timing
Major routes and transport hubs can bring heavier traffic at certain times of day, so allowing for local delays can help keep arrival and loading plans more realistic.
For broader planning advice, see our London moving guides.
