Overview
This page prices moving van hire for Regent's Park NW1 specifically: post-war stock, 55% privately rented and 3,014 households in total. Work starts at £38, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Camden permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
Step 1
Roughly how many rooms or items, and whether there are stairs at either end. That is enough to recommend a van size and a realistic hour count.
Step 2
Van size, minimum hours and any second loader shown as separate lines, plus ULEZ, Congestion Charge or a permit where the postcode needs one.
Step 3
The driver loads and straps the van themselves; a second loader, if booked, works alongside them from the same start time.
Step 4
Furniture and boxes carried in at the new address in the same order they came out, so nothing sits blocking a hallway.
Step 5
Billing runs to the minute past the minimum booking, with no rounding up to a full extra hour for a few minutes over.
Why choose us
One driver as standard on all three van sizes, with a second loader added by the hour where stairs, a lift booking or heavy furniture make a solo load impractical. Royal Parks vehicle restrictions, listed frontages needing protection and no kerbside loading on the Outer Circle.
Same-day and next-day slots are common outside weekend peaks; weekend bookings are best made two to three days ahead in the busier boroughs. Regent's Park (Bakerloo) is the nearest station, so a NW1 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect with solid brick on the party and external walls, over lath and plaster over timber studs — where 38% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year in NW1, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in NW1, which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and royal parks vehicle restrictions, listed frontages needing protection and no kerbside loading on the outer circle.
Goods-in-transit and public liability cover apply to every booking. Drivers are DBS-checked where a building requires it, and the vehicle's ULEZ and Congestion Charge compliance is confirmed before the job is booked.
Fixed prices
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small van and driver, per hour | £38 | Min. 2 hrs | A short wheelbase van fits a handful of boxes and small furniture — the lowest hourly rate because one driver loads alone. |
| LWB Transit-class van and driver, per hour | £48 | Min. 2 hrs | A long-wheelbase van takes a one-bed flat's furniture in a single trip, which is why it is the rate most bookings land on. |
| Luton with tail-lift and driver, per hour | £58 | Min. 2 hrs | The tail-lift removes the need to carry a washing machine or wardrobe down steps by hand, and the box body takes a two-bed load without a second run. |
| Second loader, per hour | £22 | Per hour worked | Optional labour on top of any van size — the driver alone can load light items, but wardrobes, sofas and stairs need a second pair of hands. |
| Each additional hour, any van | Same as base rate | 60 min | No new call-out charge for running over — the clock simply continues at the booked hourly rate. |
| Return trip to a second address same day | £25 | Per trip | Covers the extra mileage and time where a job needs a tip run, a storage drop or a second collection address. |

The driver loading their own van is included in the hourly rate; a second loader is booked separately where the job needs stairs or heavy furniture carried. Where a bay suspension, permit, ULEZ or the Congestion Charge applies it is itemised in the written quote before the van is booked, never added afterwards.
Scope
My daughter and her friend employed hello services to move the contents of their flat in Stevenage to their new flat in London. They arrived a little early to ensure they were ready to start at 9am The flat was at the top of the three story block of flats and the three of them… Read in full →
Booked them for one Bed Flat move from Hammersmith to Epsom. They packed all my stuff and loaded in less than 2 hours. I was also able to travel in the van to the destination. Thanks to Alan and his colleague. Forgot his name.
I hired hello service for my move from London to Leicester. I recommend them as best as movers compare to other companies, so I won't be worry for my next move as thinking the difficulty of house removals. I appreciate for their hard working, friendship and taking care all my belonging.

Working in Regent's Park
Census 2021 puts Regent's Park at 3,014 households with a median age of 33.6. The post-war stock is renter-heavy, which is why 8% houses and 92% flats need different handling in NW1.
Owner-occupation runs at 38% in Regent's Park, so alongside the 55% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Expect with solid brick on the party and external walls, over lath and plaster over timber studs — where 38% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year behind the plaster in NW1. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in NW1, which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and royal parks vehicle restrictions, listed frontages needing protection and no kerbside loading on the outer circle is the fault we are called back to undo.
Anyone who knows Regent's Park knows the pattern near The Nash Terraces and London Zoo: nash terraces and villas facing the park, plus the zoo and Marylebone's northern edge. We plan the NW1 visit around it. Regent's Park 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: royal Parks vehicle restrictions, listed frontages needing protection and no kerbside loading on the Outer Circle. Regent's Park (Bakerloo) is the nearest station, and one driver as standard on all three van sizes, with a second loader added by the hour where stairs, a lift booking or heavy furniture make a solo load impractical.

Small van and driver, per hour starts at £38 in Regent's Park on the streets near The Nash Terraces and London Zoo — and 8% of Regent's Park homes being houses, with 7% social-rented stock nearby, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Van size first, then whether a second loader is needed on NW1 jobs. A short wheelbase van suits a few items; a Luton with tail-lift is the rate most two-bed moves land on once the tail-lift's time saving on stairs is weighed against its higher hourly cost on this side of Camden — and 43% one-person households here, with The Nash Terraces and London Zoo a few streets away.
In Regent's Park, most one-bed moves around The Nash Terraces and London Zoo fit a long-wheelbase van at £48 an hour; a two-bed with a washing machine or a wardrobe usually goes better in a Luton with tail-lift at £58 an hour, since the lift saves carrying heavy items down steps by hand on this side of Camden, with a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood. That covers local moving van hire on Regent's Park jobs too.
London Borough of Camden runs controlled parking across much of Regent's Park on Camden bookings — and 8% of Regent's Park homes being houses, with 92% of homes here being flats, and loading a van from an unpermitted bay is exactly the situation a suspension is for. We check the street before booking and itemise a suspension only where it is genuinely needed in this 92% flats neighbourhood, with The Nash Terraces and London Zoo a few streets away.
Yes, a driver alone can manage boxes and light furniture on the streets near The Nash Terraces and London Zoo — and 38% owner-occupation locally, with 55% of NW1 homes being privately rented, but with 92% of homes here being flats, most bookings from an upper floor add a second loader at £22 an hour so a sofa or wardrobe on stairs does not slow the van down to a single item at a time.
For a small load, yes — you pay for driver and van time rather than a fixed whole-property quote on the streets near The Nash Terraces and London Zoo, with 3,014 households on this patch. With 55% of Regent's Park homes privately rented, a short-notice room or studio move is the typical booking that suits the hourly rate better than a full removal for Regent's Park (NW1) addresses — and 3,014 households on this patch, with a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood.
Goods-in-transit and public liability cover apply to every booking on the streets near The Nash Terraces and London Zoo. Drivers are DBS-checked where a building requires it on Camden bookings, with Camden parking rules in play, and the vehicle's ULEZ and Congestion Charge compliance is confirmed before the job is booked. That paperwork is what most Camden letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat in Regent's Park, with a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood.
Full packing of boxes and wrapping of fragile items on Camden bookings, which is booked as a separate packing service; Dismantling of wardrobes, beds and flat-pack units unless a second loader with tools is booked; Piano, safe or gun cabinet moves, with The Nash Terraces and London Zoo a few streets away — and 92% of homes here being flats, which need a specialist rather than a standard van and driver; Waste disposal — a moving van carries belongings between addresses, not rubbish to a tip. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Regent's Park NW1 price you agree is the price you pay in this 92% flats neighbourhood, with 8% of Regent's Park homes being houses.
