About Us
About Man and a Van St Johns Wood
Man and a Van St Johns Wood is a locally rooted removal company dedicated to providing a reliable, affordable and eco-conscious area removal service for homes and businesses in and around St Johns Wood. From cosy flats off Abbey Road to townhouses near St Johns Wood High Street and family homes close to Regent's Park, we know every corner of the neighbourhood and treat every move as if it were our own.
Our Story in the St Johns Wood Community
Our journey began over a decade ago when our founder, a long-time St Johns Wood resident, saw a gap for a genuinely local man and a van service that combined professionalism with a personal touch. What started as one van helping neighbours move between roads like Hamilton Terrace, Finchley Road and Maida Vale has grown into a trusted removal company serving the wider area while keeping our roots firmly in NW8.
Today, Man and a Van St Johns Wood is still independently owned and proudly local. Many of our first customers came from recommendations around Grove End Road, Circus Road and St Johns Wood Terrace, and a large part of our work still comes through word of mouth. We see familiar faces on every job and feel deeply connected to the community we serve.
Years of Experience You Can Rely On
We have been operating as a man and a van St Johns Wood specialist for more than 10 years. During this time, we have completed hundreds of moves in and around St Johns Wood, including:
• Flat and house moves along Wellington Road and Boundary Road
• Student and professional relocations near Lord's Cricket Ground and around St Johns Wood Road
• Downsizing and senior moves in mansion blocks and estates close to Primrose Hill and Swiss Cottage
• Office and studio moves near the high street, Finchley Road and neighbouring areas
Our long-standing presence means we understand local building entrances, parking restrictions, loading areas and peak traffic times. This allows us to plan your move efficiently and avoid unnecessary delays or complications.
Fully Licensed and Responsible Waste Handling
As a professional removal company in the area, Man and a Van St Johns Wood operates with full Environment Agency licensing for waste carriage. This means we are legally authorised to transport unwanted items, furniture and recyclable materials from your property to approved facilities.

Over the years, we have assisted local residents with moves between well-known roads like Hall Road, Marlborough Place and Loudoun Road, and supported small businesses relocating around the high street and surrounding streets. We are familiar with many of the mansion blocks, estates and mews that give the area its character, and we understand the specific access needs that come with them.
We also support community activities by offering flexible scheduling for charity collections, local events and clearances.
