Next out of London: collect WED 14 OCT, deliver FRI 16 OCT · collect WED 21 OCT, deliver FRI 23 OCT.
Covering: Bournemouth, Poole, Christchurch, Wimborne Minster, Ferndown, New Milton, Swanage and the rest of the BH postcode area.
The local landmark: Bournemouth Pier and the Sandbanks peninsula at the mouth of Poole Harbour sit along seven miles of sandy coast.
Students: Bournemouth University and Arts University Bournemouth share neighbouring sites at Talbot Campus, with student lets spread through Winton and Charminster.
On the ground: Purpose built flats and retirement blocks along the coast usually have lifts, while Winton and Charminster are low rise student terraces and bungalow suburbs. If carrying is the hard part, Assisted from £349 brings us inside, with a two-person crew when furniture or bikes are aboard (£15 per end for 2nd or 3rd floor with no lift, £30 for 4th and up).
Who makes this move: Retirees and remote workers heading for the coast, students arriving for the two universities, and graduates leaving for London careers once their courses finish.
While you wait for the van: Bournemouth barely existed before 1810, when retired army officer Lewis Tregonwell built the first house on what was then empty heathland.
