Reviews from customers who have booked through Compare The Man And Van.
Got the job done in record time, even in pouring rain
Friendly, helpful
Stayed in contact with us, was very helpful and friendly
Arrived early, very friendly would recommend to anyone. Thanks again Edward!
Service was good, but I was charged quite extortionate £40 just because I had too many items. Especially since online a one size bigger van would only cost £15 more. I booked a medium van and got an xl one.

Our verified local drivers are familiar with Hackney’s filtered streets, parking controls, and mixed housing layouts. That matters if the job involves tighter access, shared entrances, or busier local roads.
What to keep in mind when moving in Hackney
In Hackney, access is usually the deciding factor. The main issues are flat-heavy housing, controlled parking and traffic filters that can make a short local job less straightforward than it first looks.
Flats, terraces and estates
A lot of local housing is made up of converted terraces, estate blocks and newer developments, so shared entrances, stairs, lifts and booked loading areas are all common factors.
Parking needs advance thought
Bay suspensions need notice, and controlled parking applies across much of the borough. Without proper planning, legal loading space can be harder to secure than the distance suggests.
Filters affect short routes
Bus gates, LTNs, school streets and busy corridors like Hackney Road or Mare Street can all slow access down, even when collection and delivery points look close together.
For broader planning advice, see our London moving guides.
