Overview
European removals in Kennington SE11, explained
Booked mostly by social-housing-led households around Kennington, european removals here covers supply-free fitting from £745. With 88% of Kennington's 8,644 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SE11 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How european removals works in Kennington
Five steps, the same on every SE11 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block, as the Kennington stock goes, which is what a 88% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Kennington actually produces is what we plan for here.
Step 1
Video survey
A walk-through call fixes the inventory and the van size, so the crossing is booked against a real volume.
Step 2
Itemised written quote
Crew hours, road miles, crossing, tolls and overnights on separate lines — no single opaque figure.
Step 3
Pack and load
Export-grade cartons and edge protection, because a European run is days of road vibration, not an hour across town.
Step 4
Drive and update
The same crew drives the load; you get progress updates and a delivery window as the run progresses.
Step 5
Deliver and place
Furniture placed room by room at the destination, cartons unpacked if that was booked, packaging taken away.
Why choose us
Why Kennington customers book us
Four things decide whether a SE11 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
Booked around your day
Dedicated vans usually need seven to ten days' notice; part loads depend on the next van scheduled to that country, typically within a fortnight. Kennington (Northern) is the nearest station, so a SE11 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Kennington walls, not generic walls
We expect often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — and with 25% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does in SE11, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on these streets — measured on the walk in from Kennington (Northern) rather than assumed from a map.
Insured and documented
Goods in transit and public liability cover run for the whole journey, and the written inventory doubles as the customs list required at the border.
Fixed prices
European removals prices in Kennington
Fixed prices for SE11 and the rest of Lambeth. Volume, distance and overnights. A northern-France run is one crossing and one overnight; Spain or Italy is a second driver rest period and double the road miles.
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio or one-bed to France or Belgium | £745 | 2–3 days | A part load on a shared Luton, crossing and one overnight included. |
| Two-bed to Paris, Brussels or Amsterdam | £945 | 2–3 days | Dedicated van, two crew, the crossing and one driver overnight. |
| Two-bed to Germany, Spain or Italy | £1,650 | 3–5 days | Road miles and a second overnight are what separate this from a northern-France run. |
| Three-bed dedicated van | £2,150 | 3–6 days | Full Luton, two crew for the whole journey, loading and delivery days at both ends. |
| Part load, per cubic metre | £95 | By schedule | Shared space on a van already running the route — the cheapest option if the date can flex. |
| Crew and mileage rate | £65/hr + £1.50/mile | Itemised | How every bespoke quote is built, so you can see what the crossing and the miles cost. |

Scope
What's included in Kennington
The same scope across SE11, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- On SE11 jobs: video survey and a written inventory used for the customs paperwork, agreed on the doorstep in Kennington before anything is unpacked
- In Kennington: loading, securing and delivery at both ends with the same crew, timed against the walk in from Kennington (Northern)
- Crossing, tolls, ULEZ and driver overnights itemised in the quote, noted on the Kennington job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- Standard on Lambeth bookings: goods-in-transit and public liability cover for the whole journey, allowing for the 25% of SE11 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
Not included
- Customs duties or import taxes levied by the destination country, which we refer on to the right trade in Kennington
- Storage at either end, which is quoted separately by the week, handled by London Borough of Lambeth or a specialist contractor instead
- Disconnection of gas appliances or dismantling of fitted kitchens, and we will say so before the SE11 visit rather than on the day

Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Kennington — the numbers that actually change a european removals quote.
Census 2021 puts Kennington at 8,644 households with a median age of 34.2. The Georgian and early Victorian stock is social-housing-led, which is why 12% houses and 88% flats need different handling in SE11.
25% of households rent privately and 28% own, which is why european removals demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Kennington substrates run to often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — and with 25% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on these streets — measured on the walk in from Kennington (Northern) rather than assumed from a map is the mistake that costs a SE11 customer twice.
Anyone who knows Kennington knows the pattern near The Kia Oval: georgian terraces, the Oval's gasholders and the park between them. We plan the SE11 visit around it. Kennington sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: match-day restrictions at the Oval, Duchy estate rules and basement-step access. Kennington (Northern) is the nearest station, and two crew travel with the load for a dedicated van; part loads are consolidated at our depot and delivered by the driver running that route.

Common questions
European removals in Kennington SE11 — your questions.
How much does european removals cost in Kennington SE11?
Studio or one-bed to France or Belgium starts at £745 in Kennington on the Kennington rounds, with a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood — and Lambeth parking rules in play, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Volume, distance and overnights. A northern-France run is one crossing and one overnight; Spain or Italy is a second driver rest period and double the road miles around Kennington (Northern), with 38% one-person households here.
What does a move from Kennington SE11 to Paris cost?
A two-bed on a dedicated van starts at £945 and a part load from £95 per cubic metre on SE11 jobs, with The Kia Oval a few streets away. 50 a road mile, with the crossing and the driver overnight shown as their own lines around Kennington (Northern), with 25% of SE11 homes being privately rented.
Can you load a European van in SE11?
Yes, and where London Borough of Lambeth controls the frontage we arrange the bay suspension in advance on this side of Lambeth, with 47% social-rented stock nearby. A European load takes longer at the kerb than a local move across SE11, with 28% owner-occupation locally — and 47% social-rented stock nearby, so an unbooked bay in Kennington is the one thing that can cost a morning.
I am moving from a flat in Kennington — how does that work?
88% of homes here are flats, with 38% one-person households here, so we book the lift, protect the communal areas and shuttle to the van if it cannot park at the door on SE11 jobs — and 88% of homes here being flats. That shuttle time is quoted up front rather than discovered on the day around Kennington (Northern).
How far ahead should Lambeth customers book?
Seven to ten days for a dedicated van; part loads run to the next van scheduled for that country on the Kennington rounds, with this being London Borough of Lambeth territory. 28% of Kennington homes are owner-occupied, with 88% of homes here being flats, and completion dates are the usual reason to hold a dedicated slot rather than wait for a share on Lambeth bookings.
Who books european removals in Kennington SE11 — tenants, landlords or owners?
All three. With 25% of Kennington privately rented and 28% owner-occupied, roughly half the SE11 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on the streets near The Kia Oval — and 38% one-person households here, with a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood.
How quickly can you reach Kennington from your Lambeth round?
The Kia Oval is the marker we route to on SE11 jobs, with 88% of homes here being flats, and match-day restrictions at the Oval, Duchy estate rules and basement-step access. A SE11 slot added to an existing Lambeth round usually lands the same week rather than the next on the Kennington rounds, with Lambeth parking rules in play.
