London is one of the largest metropolises in the world today. The closer you are to the center of the city, the busier the streets become. This can become a real pain on your moving day, because streetwalkers as well as motor vehicles will get in the way.

First and foremost, there is the problem that the man with a van that you have hired to assist you for the duration of your removal will not have where to park the van directly outside the property you are moving out of. He or she might find a parking spot as far away from the desired place as a couple of minutes walk, which will definitely make your task harder, not to say impossible to accomplish.

There is also the problem with pedestrians. Let’s say that your London man and van specialists are experienced (or lucky) enough to find a ...

South London is known for being the better half of the capital. The reasons for that are many – better transport connections, stronger communities, more elite schools and wonderful green spaces. But there is much more to South London than all those things.

Or that the first bridge crossing the Thames was built by the Romans in order to provide access from then London to the parts that are today South London. Yes, we are talking about the London Bridge, which is one of the symbols of the country at the present moment.

• Even though London is a huge city, you will not have problem traveling anywhere, especially if you live in the north. A twenty minute ride on the Tube or some of the hundreds city trains will bring you to you...

Packing for a house or office move has never been easier or quicker. These days, there are all types of packing materials that provide maximum protection for your belongings, help you stay organised and avoid injuries and accidents. Bubble wrap, packing paper, adhesive tape, box labels – the list is long. One of the most traditional packing supply is the good old cardboard box. Now, however, it has a big rival to compete against – the plastic crate. Both packing solutions share several similarities. For instance, they:

• Come in various sizes
• Are suitable for items of different materials
• Can be purchased or rented from most professional moving companies
• Are eco-friendly

That is why it can be hard to pick between these two options...

The professional removals industry and its lightweight version – the man and van industry relies solely on the use of specialised transport vehicles, commonly known as vans. Ever wondered how the van came about and how it became the preferred tool of the trade? Here is a quick history of the humble work van – the backbone of today’s removal industry.

The English word “van” describes a specialised motor vehicle designed for transportation of people and/or goods.

Originally, the word van was a shortened say and spell for the word “caravan” – the wo...

Yes, that’s right a proper castle is going on sale for less than the price of a semidetached house in London! Blenkinsopp Castle near Hadrian’s Wall is a fourteenth century structure featuring four bedrooms as well as two reception rooms. The castle could be yours for three hundred and twenty five thousand pounds. If you want to move in to one such home, prepare to lower the drawbridge for the man and van people as Blenkinsopp Castle has a (small) moat, turreted walls and amazing stone masonry throughout the place. The property also comes with its own set of fourteenth century ruins – to the contrary, a semidetached home in London (without any ruins) will set you back about half a million pounds.

The Blenkinsopp family built the castle for themselves in thirteen thirty nine (this is ...

London is the capital of England and perhaps the most visited city in the world. The main reason behind London’s popularity is its abundance of world famous landmarks and one of these landmarks is Her Majesty’s Royal Palace and Fortress more commonly known as the Tower of London.
