The stuff people ask most, answered straight. Can’t see yours? Ask us direct.

Are you actually a Brixton firm?

Brixton is our home turf and our departure hub. We collect right across the area — Brixton Hill, Loughborough Junction, Coldharbour Lane, Herne Hill, Tulse Hill, Stockwell — and out across south London. We know the CPZs, the walk-ups and the tight Victorian conversions, because we move people out of them every week.

What is The Creative Corridor?

It’s our specialism: the moves Brixton makes to Europe’s creative capitals — Berlin, Amsterdam, Dublin and Copenhagen. Those four routes we know inside out, from Berlin’s lift-free Altbau stairs to Amsterdam’s canal-house hoists. It’s not our limit, though — we move across the rest of Europe and the UK too.

Can you move me somewhere that isn’t on the Corridor?

Course. The Creative Corridor names the routes we specialise in, but we run the wider European corridor and UK-wide moves as well. Tell us where you’re headed and we’ll scope it properly.

I’m moving a home studio — records, synths, instruments. Safe with you?

That’s our favourite kind of move. We pack vinyl, instruments, synths and studio gear with proper materials and care, and crate anything fragile or precious. Flag the irreplaceable stuff up front — the vintage synth, the master tapes, the finished canvases — and it gets the treatment it deserves.

How does an international move actually work?

Your stuff travels overland — through the Channel and across Europe — either in a dedicated van or as a shared part-load. Island and sea routes like Ireland add a ferry leg we book to line up with the van, so it all lands as one job. Since Brexit there’s customs paperwork too, which we prepare ahead of departure so nothing gets stuck at a border.

How much will it cost, and how long will it take?

Depends on the move — where you’re going, whether it’s a dedicated van or a part-load, the access at both ends, and customs. Rather than throw out a number that might not stick, we scope your specific move and send a clear written quote with a realistic transit window. No surprises.

Can you do it on a budget?

We get that first moves and creative careers don’t come with deep pockets. Part-loads mean you only pay for the space you use, and we’ll give you an honest steer on what’s worth shipping versus buying fresh at the other end. We’d rather right-size your move than oversell it.

What about packing and boxes?

We can do the lot, just the fragile bits, or supply materials if you’d rather pack yourself. For any move abroad we’d strongly push proper export-standard packing — the road’s long and it’s no place for a cut corner.

Can you store my stuff between places?

Yeah. Move dates rarely line up perfectly, especially abroad. We offer secure storage in the UK or at the other end and flexible timing, so a slipped completion doesn’t throw the whole thing.

How do I get started?

Fire over your pickup and destination and a rough idea of what you’re moving, through the quote form or by getting in touch. We’ll come back to you to talk it through — no obligation, no hard sell.
