Is a man and van enough for a move in W2, or do I need a removals crew?
It depends on volume and access, not on the label. A man and van at these rates suits small loads, single rooms and part-loads; a full home usually needs a two or three-man removals crew to finish inside a sensible day. Send the item list with your quote request and the written quote states the crew the job honestly needs, at the same published rates either way.

Yes. W2 is the district for Bayswater, Edgware Road (Bakerloo), Edgware Road (Circle, District & H&C), Lancaster Gate, Paddington (Bakerloo, Circle & District), Paddington (Circle & H&C), Queensway, Royal Oak, and the streets around those stations are core Vano Removals ground: the same crews cover the whole district, not just the station streets.
