Testimonials
It is my third time using 1st movers and every time they deliver excellent service. They work fast and carefully and expectations and details are set clearly from the start. Easy process and friendly staff. Will definitely recommend their service and will use it in the future again should I need it.

I was a little disappointed that an "optional tip" was added to the bill, tipping in the UK is discretionary this isn't America. The sweet potato fries were amazing but, the Hell's Kitchen burger was just mediocre. I've been to Gordon Ramsay's restaurant in the The Savoy which is superb, in contrast Street Burger is hugely disappointing.
