Quick answer
How much does man and van cost in Covent Garden?
Man and van accounts for much of our work in WC2: a studio flat above Neal Street, a desk between two agencies on Long Acre, a sofa into a conversion on Shelton Street. A small van, an early start and a loading bay keep it inside two hours.
Covent Garden removals are warehouse-conversion flats with small lifts, flats above the Piazza shops and offices around Seven Dials, on streets that are pedestrian by day and theatre traffic by night.
We plan the stop on Floral Street, Shelton Street or the Drury Lane side, measure large pieces against the lift from photos, and start early or on a Sunday.
Email postcodes, floor levels, parking notes and photos of bulky items. We will tell you the right van and crew before you book.
- No ULEZ charge: it is never added to your bill.
- Access: we check Covent Garden road width and parking rules before the day.
- Bay suspensions: Bays here are run by Westminster City Council. We tell you which one to suspend and for how long, so the van is at the door.
- Congestion Charge: The address sits inside the Congestion Charge zone. We confirm on the quote how the charge is handled, so nothing is added on the day.
- Prices: published hourly rates, whole-hour booking. Stairs are £10 per person per flight per hour and shown in the quote, never added on the day.
Local knowledge
Moving in Covent Garden: what changes the job
The address sits inside the Congestion Charge zone. We confirm on the quote how the charge is handled, so nothing is added on the day.
The Piazza and the streets off it are pedestrian for most of the day, Seven Dials is a one-way maze and the Strand is a red route. We plan the stop on Floral Street, Shelton Street, Endell Street or the Drury Lane side, and start early before the area fills.
The old market warehouses on Shelton Street, Earlham Street and Long Acre are now flats and studios with big rooms, heavy doors and lifts that were fitted later and are small. We check awkward pieces against the lift from your photos and plan a stair carry where they will not fit.
Flats above the Piazza and Neal Street shops have a street door, a narrow stair and no parking at all. We send a small van that can use a loading bay, keep the carry short and the pavement clear for the shop below.
Long Acre, Great Queen Street and the Seven Dials streets hold agencies, studios and small firms in period buildings with narrow stairs. Evening moves clash with theatre traffic, so for Covent Garden offices we propose early mornings or Sundays rather than a weekday evening.

Early morning, before the pedestrian streets fill, or on a Sunday morning. Weekday evenings clash with theatre traffic around Drury Lane and the Strand. We propose a start time with the quote and plan the stop on a side street where a van can sit.
Often it will not, because the lifts in the old market buildings were fitted later and are small. Send photos of the lift and your largest pieces and we say what goes in the lift and what the crew carries on the stairs, so the time is priced honestly.
Yes. A street door, a narrow stair and no parking is the standard Piazza flat. We send a small van that fits a loading bay on a side street, keep the carry short and the pavement clear for the shop below.
Yes. On driver-only jobs the driver helps load and unload within safe limits. With stairs, heavy sofas, appliances or a long carry, two people is usually quicker and better value. We suggest the crew from your photos. If you only have light boxes and need space in the van, the £55/hr driver-only option is the one to choose.
