About Bitterne
Bitterne is a large residential suburb on the east side of the River Itchen, about three miles from Southampton city centre. It includes Bitterne Village with its shopping precinct, the Edwardian streets of Bitterne Park by the river, and the post-war estates of Thornhill and Harefield.
Bitterne precinct is the local hub for shops and services, with Riverside Park along the Itchen, Peartree to the south and West End to the north-east. We've moved homes here for 15+ years – so we know the hills, the cul-de-sacs, the busy Bitterne Road and the quickest way out to the M27.

Local know-how
Every Bitterne move is a little different. Here's what we plan for so you don't have to:
✓ Hilly streets – steep roads and steps up to front doors mean extra care with heavy items
✓ Cul-de-sacs and estates – we check van access and turning space in Thornhill and Harefield
✓ Bitterne Road traffic – the A3024 is busy at peak times, so we plan around rush hour
✓ Maisonettes and flats – shared stairwells need protection and extra time
✓ Northam Bridge – we pick the quickest river crossing for moves into the city
✓ Quick motorway access – M27 Junctions 7 and 8 are close for longer moves
