Man with a Van Birmingham to London

The route is around 120 miles and usually takes about 2 to 3 hours, depending on traffic and your exact pickup and drop-off points. Your driver collects, travels direct and delivers on the same trip.

You get a fixed, upfront price for the whole route before you book, with no hourly meter. Because Porta often matches you with a driver already heading that way, route moves like Birmingham to London can be more affordable, with fixed prices from £69. What you pay depends on what you’re moving and whether you need help loading.

Often, yes, especially over distance. Paying by the hour means the meter runs through loading, the 2 to 3 hour drive and unloading, so a Birmingham to London job adds up. With Porta you get one fixed price up front, whatever the clock does, so there are no surprises if traffic is heavy.

Yes. We cover London to Birmingham as well, plus pickups and drop-offs anywhere along the route.

Anything from a single sofa or appliance to a full flat move, including large and awkward items. Marketplace pickups from eBay, Gumtree and Facebook Marketplace are welcome.

Yes. A man and van includes the driver helping to load and unload, which is the main difference from hiring a self-drive van. For very heavy or awkward items that need two people, or a lot to carry, mention it when you quote so the right level of help is matched.

Often, yes, where a suitable driver is available. Same-day and next-day route moves can be arranged subject to availability. Get a quote to see live options.

We collect across Birmingham and the West Midlands, including Solihull and Coventry, and deliver to any London postcode, with pickups and drop-offs in towns along the route. The same applies in reverse.

Yes. Any ULEZ or Congestion Charge that applies to your London drop-off is included in the fixed, upfront price, so there is nothing extra to settle on the day. London is covered by the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ), with the Congestion Charge in the central zone, so enter your exact London postcode when you quote and the right zone is priced in.

Yes, bed frames and mattresses are among the most common items moved on this route. Most frames travel best partly dismantled (often just the slats and headboard come apart), and a mattress is best bagged to keep it clean in transit. Tell us the bed size and whether it needs taking apart when you quote, so the right van and any loading help can be matched. Beds are also covered by our large item courier service.

Usually, yes. Most two-door and flat-pack wardrobes fit a Luton or large van, and many can be partly dismantled to protect the doors and mirrors. Larger fitted or three-door wardrobes may need a bigger vehicle, so add the width, height and depth when you quote and the right size of van can be matched.

Not usually. Most two and three-seater sofas travel as they are, though removing the feet or legs (often just a few screws) helps with tight doorways and stairs. Corner units and sofa beds are bulkier, so share the type and rough dimensions when you quote and your driver can plan the safest way to load it. For several pieces at once, see our furniture courier service.
