Yes. Man and a Van Southampton covers all of Bitterne Park in SO18, including Bitterne Park Triangle, the streets by Cobden Bridge and the roads towards Midanbury and Townhill Park.

Your local movers
Bitterne Park sits on the east bank of the River Itchen, built on sloping parkland that was once part of Bitterne Manor. It was developed for housing from 1882, when a bridge across the river to St Denys made the area much easier to reach.
Today it's largely residential, with Bitterne Park Triangle and its clock tower as the local focal point, surrounded by shops and takeaways.
Many Bitterne Park roads run downhill towards the river, so some homes have steps, steep drives or split levels. We check access before the day and bring the right crew and kit.
Cobden Bridge links Bitterne Park to St Denys and Portswood, so moves across the river to the west of the city are short and simple.

Bitterne Park Triangle is the local hub, so we load from side roads and avoid the busiest times.
Streets slope down towards the river, so we plan for steps and steep drives before the day.
Cobden Bridge takes us straight over to St Denys and Portswood for moves to the west of the city.

★★★★★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.
