A moving service for London student life
Move the contents of your room, flat or house share
Porta’s London Student Removals service is for a complete student load travelling from one address to the next, not just boxes sent separately or belongings placed into storage.
List everything that is leaving with you, from clothes and books to a desk, chair, mattress, television, kitchen equipment and packed boxes. Once booked, Porta connects you with a vetted independent driver for the journey.
For the full UK-wide service and more examples of suitable loads, visit the national Student Removals page.
Three points in the academic year
London student moves from arrival to graduation
The same service covers an arrival from home, a change of London tenancy and the final journey after university.
Changing address in London
Move from halls into a shared house, or between private rentals, without splitting the job across taxis and separate furniture collections.
Heading home after university
Book the journey back to a family address or onward to another UK city when a tenancy ends or your course finishes.
A London move, priced before you book
Build the booking around your addresses and belongings
London student accommodation varies enormously. The online quote starts with the move you are actually making rather than assuming that every room or building has the same access.

Include the complete student load
Add every box, bag, suitcase, appliance and piece of furniture that is going. The notes section of the quote form is there for stairs, lifts, restricted access and other useful details.

Before choosing the collection time
Arrival arrangements for London halls and residences
London halls and managed residences may give students a particular arrival process, induction or move-in window.
UCL tells residents to check the arrangements for their own hall and obtain approval before booking travel for an early arrival. Imperial also directs residents to complete its pre-arrival induction before moving into halls. Private providers and other universities set their own rules.
Flats, receptions and controlled streets
Access at both London addresses
Good access information helps the driver understand the collection and delivery before moving day.
Add the floor, stairs, working lift, entry system and carrying distance in the notes section of the quote form. If a residence uses a reception or loading bay, check when it opens and whether a booking is required.

London student-move questions
What students usually ask before booking
These answers cover the service boundary, pricing and the details that matter at London addresses.
What can I include in a London student removal?
A London student removal can include the complete contents of a room or smaller flat: boxes, suitcases, clothes, books, bedding, kitchenware, technology, bicycles, appliances and furniture. Add everything that is moving to the online quote.
Can I book a student move between two London addresses?
Yes. A student move can run between halls, shared houses and private flats anywhere in London. Enter both addresses so the quote reflects the journey you are booking.
Can Porta move my belongings from home to a London university?
You can arrange a UK journey from home to student accommodation in London through Porta. Once the booking is confirmed, Porta connects you with a vetted independent driver for the move.
Do you provide student storage in London?
Porta does not provide storage. The Student Removals service moves belongings from one collection address to a delivery address, so somebody must be able to receive the load at the destination.
How much does a student move in London cost?
The fixed price depends on the collection and delivery addresses, the complete item list, access, collection option and moving help required. Complete the online quote to see the price before booking.
What access information should I provide?
Include the floor, working lift, stairs, reception or entry arrangements, carrying distance and the nearest suitable loading point at both London addresses. Put these details in the notes section of the quote form.
Can I arrange a London student move at the end of term?
An end-of-term move can take your belongings to a new tenancy, a family home or another UK address. Confirm when you must leave the property and when the destination can receive the load before choosing the collection option.
Does Porta pack or dismantle student furniture?
Packing and dismantling are not included. Boxes and loose belongings should be packed securely, and any furniture that needs dismantling should be ready before collection.
