Any generous van owner drivers on here?

would it maybe be better to hire from one as close as possible to the final destination...hackney wick?.....this would give the most time to drive to and from...and also more time for unloading.

Yep I agree. When you get prices check about high milage extra charges, some do this so it may effect the price. I think we would need to give ourself 5 - 6 hours for the journey each way at a guess you prob have a better idea. Leave London the day before in the afternoon I guess?
