Areas of London we cover
City2City is a London marketplace. These {LIST.length} areas have a page of their own — pick yours to read what moves there usually involve, or put in your dates to see which drivers are free.
Drivers choose where they work
City2City does not run vans or employ drivers. Independent drivers join the platform, set their own prices and decide how far they are willing to travel from their base. One driver might only take jobs inside a few miles of Walthamstow; another will drive anywhere inside the M25 and beyond.
That means there is no fixed coverage map to show you. When you put in your collection address, your delivery address and the date, the site shows the drivers who are actually available for that job, with their van, their rating and their price. If nobody suitable is free, you will see that straight away rather than after a phone call.
A job is priced on the route between your two addresses, so a move out of London is booked the same way as one across it.
Saturdays and the end of the month are the busiest. Searching a different date often brings up different drivers.
What you pay is driven by the van, the hours and the help you book — not by which borough you are in.
Licence, V5 and three insurances are checked before any driver can take a job, wherever they are based.
The driver who turns up knows your streets
Because drivers pick their own patch, the one who takes your job is usually already working your part of London — the filtered streets, the permit hours, the blocks that want a lift booked. Each area page below sets out what a move there tends to involve, so you know what to plan for before you compare drivers.
Pick your part of London
Each page covers what moves in that area tend to involve, the parking and loading you should plan for, and whether the Congestion Charge applies.

Not on the list? Jobs run between any two addresses, so a collection in an area without its own page here is booked in exactly the same way. Put both addresses in and see what comes back.
ULEZ and the Congestion Charge
The Ultra Low Emission Zone has covered the whole of Greater London since 29 August 2023, so every area on this page is inside it, at every hour of every day. Compliant vans pay nothing; the charge only applies to vehicles that do not meet the emissions standard.
Only the central zone is charged, bounded roughly by Euston Road, Pentonville Road, City Road, Tower Bridge, Elephant and Castle, Vauxhall Bridge Road, Park Lane and Edgware Road. Parts of Westminster, Camden, Islington, Southwark and Lambeth fall inside it. Everywhere else on this page is outside.
Both are already inside the price a driver quotes you, along with mileage, fuel, insurance and the helpers you have booked. Tolls, ferries and private road charges are not.
Common questions
Every quote includes all standard costs — mileage, fuel, insurance, van size, helpers and the travel time you select. Tolls, ferries and private road charges are not included and are paid separately if your route needs them. Otherwise your price only changes if your move runs longer than the booked hours, when clearly listed overtime rates apply.
Most drivers set a minimum two-hour booking to cover travel, loading and unloading. After that, time is charged in hourly or half-hour increments, so pricing stays clear and predictable.
Yes — your quote covers the Congestion Charge, ULEZ and Clean Air Zone fees. Extra tolls, ferries or private road charges aren't included and are paid separately if needed.
Yes. Press '+ Add a stop on the way' when you enter your addresses. You can add up to eight.
Yes. Message us on live chat and we'll change it for you.
Most drivers bring tools and will dismantle and reassemble furniture, but it is up to the individual driver. Message us on live chat before you book if you need it.
Every driver is checked before they can take jobs, and customers rate them after each one. You can see those ratings when you compare.
