The service, locally
Long distance moves from Kentish Town NW5
We move households out of Kentish Town NW5 to Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol and Scotland every month, on the same transparent mileage pricing as every other London postcode. The sum is £65 per hour of crew time plus £1.50 per road mile, with an hour loading and an hour unloading included as the baseline. A kerbside load adds walking distance rather than lifting, so the honest variable is how far the lorry can legally stand from your door. It is the same formula in Camden as it is everywhere else we work — the only thing that changes is your address and your mileage.

How it works
Three steps and a price that holds
Send both postcodes and the Kentish Town home size
Where you are leaving in Kentish Town, where you are going, how many bedrooms and the floor you are on. That is the whole input — the formula does the rest.
See the sum, not just a total
We send the crew hours, the real road miles via M1, M4 and the M25, and the two multiplications that produce your fixed price. If you disagree with an input, we change the input, not the price.
One crew loads, drives and unloads
Kerbside load in a suspended bay, then straight onto the motorway. The same team that empties your Kentish Town home carries it into the new one — no depot transfer, no shared load, no re-quote on the day.
Why us
Why Kentish Town moves with us over the long haul
The formula is published, not negotiated
£65 an hour of crew time plus £1.50 a road mile, printed on the page before you speak to anyone. Two people moving the same load out of Kentish Town on the same day pay the same price.
Mileage is measured, not estimated
We price the road distance the lorry actually drives, not a straight line on a map. Kentish Town to Manchester is 200 road miles and is charged as 200 — a 2-bed at £560, fixed.
One crew, one vehicle, door to door
Your load is never consolidated with another household's or dropped at a depot overnight. That is why our long-distance dates hold and our damage rate stays where it is.
Loading a long-distance lorry on Kentish Town's streets
We suspend or reserve the bay before the day so the lorry stands outside your door rather than three doors down. On a priced-by-the-hour load, kerb distance is money, and it is the part most quotes quietly ignore.

About the area
Moving out of Kentish Town NW5
Working high street, Victorian terraces and the Forum's gig traffic. The O2 Forum Kentish Town anchors the neighbourhood, and the nearest station is Kentish Town (Northern, Thameslink). Housing here is bay-fronted victorian terraces split into flats, peabody blocks and victorian villas near the heath. — 85.6% of homes in Kentish Town are flats and 24.3% are privately rented, which is why so many moves out of Kentish Town are one- and two-bed loads heading a long way rather than family houses moving round the corner. Seven-day resident bays, steep basement steps and terraces with no rear access. Central London loads pay their motorway toll in minutes rather than miles: getting out of the zone is the slow part, and we plan the departure slot around it.

Questions
Long distance moves from Kentish Town answered
A 1-bed is £430, a 2-bed £560 and a 3-bed £690. Those are the formula, not a guess: crew hours at £65 plus 200 road miles at £1.50.
Both are around 120 road miles from NW5, so a 2-bed is £440 and a 3-bed £570. They are comfortable same-day runs with the unload finished by late afternoon.
Seven-day resident bays, steep basement steps and terraces with no rear access. A kerbside load adds walking distance rather than lifting, so the honest variable is how far the lorry can legally stand from your door.
The baseline is one hour loading and one hour unloading for a 1-bed, four crew hours in total for a 2-bed and six for a 3-bed. We suspend or reserve the bay before the day so the lorry stands outside your door rather than three doors down. On a priced-by-the-hour load, kerb distance is money, and it is the part most quotes quietly ignore.
M1, M4 and the M25. Central London loads pay their motorway toll in minutes rather than miles: getting out of the zone is the slow part, and we plan the departure slot around it. We quote the real road distance from NW5, which is usually a few miles more than a map's straight line.
