Larger family moves are concentrated around Walsworth, Charlton and the Hitchin Hill ridge.

Cross-county moves between Hitchin, Letchworth and Baldock are usually combined into single-day jobs, while moves into central London via Kings Cross frequently complete inside a working day even with a full pack on the day before.
