House removals and man and van hire in Lyndhurst, the village at the heart of the New Forest, and the forest hamlets around it.
Yes. Man and a Van Southampton covers all of Lyndhurst in SO43, the village at the centre of the New Forest, often called its capital. Our base in Southampton is about 20–25 minutes away, so we offer house removals, man and van hire, packing and long distance moves from Lyndhurst 7 days a week.


Your local movers
Lyndhurst is often called the capital of the New Forest. The Queen's House in the High Street is home to the Verderers' Court, which has looked after the forest's commoning rights for centuries.
The village church of St Michael and All Angels stands on a hill above the High Street, and Alice Liddell, the inspiration for Alice in Wonderland, is buried in its churchyard. The New Forest Heritage Centre tells the story of the forest.
Lyndhurst moves include cottages and Victorian houses in the village, and family homes and bungalows on its edges. We check access and parking before the day.
Lyndhurst's one-way system and busy summer traffic mean we plan the route and where the van stops.

Local know-how
Lyndhurst has its own streets, buildings and rules. Here's what we plan for.
The historic High Street gets busy, so we plan where the van can stop.
The village one-way system can be slow in summer, so we time moves around it.
Lyndhurst is in the New Forest district, so council tax and bins are handled by New Forest District Council.
Parking tip: if the van needs to stop on a council road in Lyndhurst, contact New Forest District 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.
