The service, locally
Long distance moves from Temple and Aldwych WC2
Leaving Temple and Aldwych for another part of the country is a long distance move, and it should be priced like one: a published sum rather than a phone call and a hunch. 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. Stairs are the single biggest driver of crew hours on a long-distance job — a third-floor walk-up can add two billed hours before a wheel turns. It is the same formula in Westminster 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 Temple and Aldwych home size
Where you are leaving in Temple and Aldwych, 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
Communal stairs carried by hand before the lorry leaves London. The same team that empties your Temple and Aldwych home carries it into the new one — no depot transfer, no shared load, no re-quote on the day.
Why us
Why Temple and Aldwych 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 Temple and Aldwych 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. Temple and Aldwych 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.
Stairs and conversions in Temple and Aldwych
Half-landings and 1890s doorways decide the load hours long before the motorway does. We ask for the floor and the stair type at survey, then price the hours honestly rather than discovering them on the day.

About the area
Moving out of Temple and Aldwych WC2
Barristers' chambers, King's College buildings and the crescent of Aldwych. The Royal Courts of Justice anchors the neighbourhood, and the nearest station is Temple (Circle, District). Housing here is chambers flats, student halls and a handful of upper-floor conversions. — 94.9% of homes in Temple and Aldwych are flats and 43.5% are privately rented, which is why so many moves out of Temple and Aldwych are one- and two-bed loads heading a long way rather than family houses moving round the corner. Embankment red route, Inns gate control and no loading on the Strand at peak times. 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 Temple and Aldwych 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 WC2, so a 2-bed is £440 and a 3-bed £570. They are comfortable same-day runs with the unload finished by late afternoon.
Embankment red route, Inns gate control and no loading on the Strand at peak times. Stairs are the single biggest driver of crew hours on a long-distance job — a third-floor walk-up can add two billed hours before a wheel turns.
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. Half-landings and 1890s doorways decide the load hours long before the motorway does. We ask for the floor and the stair type at survey, then price the hours honestly rather than discovering them on the day.
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 WC2, which is usually a few miles more than a map's straight line.
Yes. The team that loads in Temple and Aldwych is the team that unloads at the far end — no depot transfer, no shared lorry, no third party you have never met carrying your bed up someone else's stairs.
