Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Greenwich Peninsula fitters · Fixed written pricesMoving van hire for Greenwich Peninsula (SE10) households — 3,769 of them, 78% in flats. From £38 fixed, 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 Driver-loaded, straps and blankets included, billed to the minute.
Overview
Booked mostly by social-housing-led households around North Greenwich, moving van hire here covers supply-free fitting from £38. With 78% of Greenwich Peninsula's 3,769 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SE10 shape the slot length we hold.
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. Event-day congestion, estate permits and strict lift-booking windows in every block.
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. North Greenwich (Jubilee) is the nearest station, so a SE10 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — where 44% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year in SE10, 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 — with 31% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first.
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.

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 Greenwich Peninsula
Walk Greenwich Peninsula from The O2 Arena outwards and the recent new-build pattern is obvious: 78% of the 3,769 households in SE10 live in flats, 22% in houses.
25% of households rent privately and 44% own, which is why moving van hire demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Expect often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — where 44% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year behind the plaster in SE10. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on these streets — with 31% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first is the fault we are called back to undo.
Anyone who knows Greenwich Peninsula knows the pattern near The O2 Arena: the O2, the cable car and a new district of towers on the old gasworks. We plan the SE10 visit around it. Greenwich Peninsula is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, event-day congestion, estate permits and strict lift-booking windows in every block — one reason 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 Greenwich Peninsula on the streets near The O2 Arena — and 31% social-rented stock nearby, with The O2 Arena a few streets away, 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 for Greenwich Peninsula (SE10) addresses. 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 the Greenwich Peninsula rounds — and 3,769 households on this patch, with this being a short walk from North Greenwich (Jubilee).
In Greenwich Peninsula, most one-bed moves around The O2 Arena 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 the streets near The O2 Arena, with 44% owner-occupation locally. Ask for it in writing before the SE10 visit and it is on the job sheet.
Royal Borough of Greenwich runs controlled parking across much of Greenwich Peninsula across SE10 — and this being Royal Borough of Greenwich territory, with 44% owner-occupation locally, 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 on the streets near The O2 Arena, with this being a short walk from North Greenwich (Jubilee).
Yes, a driver alone can manage boxes and light furniture on the Greenwich Peninsula rounds — and this being Royal Borough of Greenwich territory, with this being a short walk from North Greenwich (Jubilee), but with 78% 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 O2 Arena, with 25% of SE10 homes being privately rented. With 25% of Greenwich Peninsula 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 Greenwich Peninsula (SE10) addresses, with The O2 Arena a few streets away.
Goods-in-transit and public liability cover apply to every booking for Greenwich Peninsula (SE10) addresses. Drivers are DBS-checked where a building requires it on the streets near The O2 Arena, with 78% of homes here being flats, and the vehicle's ULEZ and Congestion Charge compliance is confirmed before the job is booked. That paperwork is what most Greenwich letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat on Greenwich bookings, with 3,769 households on this patch.
Full packing of boxes and wrapping of fragile items across SE10, 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 3,769 households on this patch — and The O2 Arena a few streets away, 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 Greenwich Peninsula SE10 price you agree is the price you pay around North Greenwich (Jubilee), with a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood.
