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.

Did you know for example that today over 2.8 million people choose to live in South London? 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.

There is no doubt that London is one of the European capitals with the longest history and cultural importance. So, no wonder why every corner of the city is overwhelmed with spots that are both culturally and historically relevant. They, in some sense or another, shape the vision we have not only about London itself, but the world too. A comprehensive list would be so long that an ordinary blog post would not suffice, so let’s just have a look at some places that are most prominently featured in the landscape of the mind that is evoked when one hears the name London:

• Big Ben and the House of Parliament. There is literally no film, or even book that takes place at least partially in London that does not feature those two...

• 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...

If you ever have to move house, one of the first things you will think about is the cost of the move. In fact, price is one of the primary factors in a decision to choose a man with van removal company. However, not all removal companies price their jobs the same way, with some adding hidden charges or generally not being clear with how the company has got to their final number. Luckily, those types of companies are not that common, and with an understanding of what to expect, you can make sure you pick a reliable moving company.

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. Generally a van is a vehicle that is smaller than a conventional truck, but larger than a passenger car. However, the word van is actually used in different English speaking regions to describe slightly different types of transport vehicles. Originally, the word van was a shortened say and spell for the word “caravan” – the wo...

Everyone loves going on holidays but no one likes paying for them, it’s a fact of life. Since most of the time money is a factor, many people would be happy to explore a new tourist destination without breaking the piggy bank.

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.
