Student Removals — Metro City Moves
Metro City Moves understands that student moves are different — they need to be affordable, flexible, and quick. Whether you are moving into halls of residence at the start of term, relocating between student houses mid-year, or clearing out your room at the end of the academic year, our team is here to help. London is home to dozens of universities and colleges spread across every borough, and we have experience moving students in and out of all types of accommodation — from purpose-built halls and high-rise blocks in Stratford to terraced student houses in Islington and New Cross. We offer a range of van sizes to match exactly what you have, so you are never paying for more vehicle than you need. Packing and unpacking assistance is available if you want it, and we accept last-minute bookings wherever our schedule allows. Covering all London postcodes and universities, we make student moving genuinely stress-free. Call 0734 6595 376 for a no-nonsense quote.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do student removals cost?
Student removals are priced based on the volume of belongings, the distance of the move, and the time required. Many student moves — particularly single-room or bedsit moves — can be completed with a small transit van and one person, keeping costs very competitive. We are transparent about pricing and will give you a fixed quote before the job so there are no surprises on the day. To keep costs down, we recommend packing everything into boxes and bags in advance so loading time is minimised. Call us on 07346595376 or use our online quote form to get a price specific to your move.
Can you move me at the end of term at short notice?
We always try to accommodate last-minute bookings, particularly at the end of the academic year when many students realise they need help at the last minute. Availability cannot be guaranteed at peak periods — late June and early July are especially busy — so we recommend booking as soon as you know your move-out date. If you find yourself in need of a same-week or next-day service, call us directly rather than booking online and we will do our very best to fit you in. We know move-out deadlines are fixed and we treat them as seriously as you do.
What size van do I need for a student move?
Most single-room student moves — a bed, some flat-pack furniture, a few boxes, and bags of clothes — can be completed with a small to medium transit van and one helper. If you are moving the contents of a shared house or a larger studio with significant furniture, a Luton van may be more appropriate. When you contact us, give us a brief description of what you are moving and we will recommend the right vehicle size, ensuring you are not paying for more van than you need.
Do you cover all London universities?
Yes — we cover all London universities and colleges, including UCL, King's College London, Imperial, LSE, Queen Mary, City, Goldsmiths, Greenwich, South Bank, Brunel, Kingston, Westminster, and all others. We are based in East London but operate across every borough, so whether your halls are in Bloomsbury, Elephant and Castle, Bethnal Green, or Twickenham, we can reach you without any additional travel charges beyond the standard quote.
Can I store my belongings between terms?
Yes — we offer short-term and flexible storage solutions that are ideal for students who need somewhere to keep their belongings over the summer or between academic years. Rather than paying for a full year of accommodation just to store boxes, our storage service lets you drop items off and collect when you need them. Ask us about combining a removal and storage booking for the most cost-effective solution.
