Yes. Man and a Van Southampton covers all of Banister Park in SO15, the residential area between Hill Lane, The Avenue and Southampton Common, north of Archers Road.

Your local movers
Banister Park sits between Hill Lane and The Avenue, just south of Southampton Common. It was once home to Hampshire's old County Ground and the Banister Court greyhound and speedway stadium. Today it's a residential area of period houses, flats and newer homes.
Many of the larger older houses have been split into flats, so moves here often mean stairs, shared hallways and on-street parking. We check access before the day and bring the right crew size.
Hill Lane runs along the western edge of Banister Park, and our base is further up the same road. That makes it a short drive for us, which is handy for same-day and short-notice jobs.
Banister Park is close to the city centre, the Common and the universities, so it's popular with students and young professionals. We move flats and shared houses here all year, with the busiest weeks at the end and start of term.

Local know-how
Banister Park has its own streets, buildings and rules. Here's what we plan for.
Hill Lane runs along the edge of Banister Park and our base is further up the same road, so we're usually with you within 10 minutes.
Older houses split into flats mean stairs and shared halls, so we protect walls and banisters and carry carefully.
Southampton Common is just to the north, and the streets around it have plenty of permit parking, so tell us where the van can stop.
Parking tip: if the van needs to stop on a council road in Banister Park, contact Southampton City Council in advance about a parking bay suspension, and tell us where the van can stop.

★★★★★I used this to move within Southampton, and then out of Southampton a few years later, and both times it was a very positive experience. From first message to the last box leaving the truck, I was assured about the move.
