When it comes to moving house in London, choosing the right van is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. The right vehicle can save time, reduce stress, and ensure your belongings arrive safely at your new home. At Master Movers, we offer a wide range of vehicles and professional moving services to suit any type of relocation — from small apartments to large family homes.
1. Assess the Size of Your Move
Start by taking stock of your items. Make a list of all your furniture, boxes, and larger possessions like wardrobes, sofas, or kitchen appliances.
-
Small Moves: Studio or one-bedroom apartments usually require a compact van.
-
Medium Moves: Two- or three-bedroom apartments may need a medium-sized van.
-
Large Moves: Family homes or larger properties often require a Luton van or a full-size removal vehicle.
For a detailed breakdown of which van might suit your move, check out our House Removals in London page.
2. Consider Access and Parking
London streets can be narrow, and parking is often limited. When choosing a van, think about:
-
Can the van easily access your property?
-
Is there enough space for loading and unloading?
If access is restricted or you need a flexible solution, our Man and Van service may be the perfect choice. Smaller vehicles are ideal for navigating tight streets while still carrying most household items efficiently.
3. Plan Your Move Schedule
Choosing the right van also depends on how you plan to move.
-
A larger van may allow you to move everything in one trip, saving time.
-
A smaller van might require multiple trips, which could increase costs and moving time.
Our team at Master Movers can advise on the most efficient van options based on your schedule. For more details about our pricing, visit our Removals Pricing page.

-
