Your local movers
Bevois Valley is an inner-city area just south of Portswood, within walking distance of the city centre. It follows the line of the original valley of the River Itchen, and takes in Bevois Mount and Bevois Town. Its name is said to come from the folk hero Bevis of Hampton.
Along with Bedford Place, Bevois Valley Road is one of Southampton's best-known nightlife streets, with pubs, takeaways and music venues. Around it are terraced streets, flats above shops and lots of student lets.
Bevois Valley Road is busy day and night, so we plan where the van can stop, load from side streets where we can, and avoid late evenings.
We also cover the quieter streets of Bevois Mount and those towards St Denys, the nearest railway station. For the streets south of the valley towards the river, see our Bevois Town page.

Bevois Valley has its own streets, buildings and rules. Here's what we plan for.
Bevois Valley Road is busy with pubs and venues, so we load earlier in the day and use quieter side streets.
Flats above shops often have narrow stairs and rear access, so we check the route before the day.
St Denys station is the nearest railway station, a short hop from Bevois Mount.
Parking tip: if the van needs to stop on a council road in Bevois Valley, 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.
