About Shirley
Shirley is a busy residential district about a mile and a half north-west of Southampton city centre, built around Shirley High Street and its shopping precinct. Homes range from Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Freemantle and Shirley to 1930s semis, flats above shops and modern apartment blocks.
Shirley High Street is lined with independent shops, cafés and restaurants, with Southampton General Hospital to the north, Polygon and Banister Park towards the city and Millbrook to the west. We've moved homes and businesses here for 15+ years – so we know the narrow side streets, the busy high-street loading and the best routes out to the M271.

Local know-how
Every Shirley move is a little different. Here's what we plan for so you don't have to:
✓ High-street loading – flats above Shirley High Street shops need careful timing and a legal place to load
✓ Narrow terraces – Freemantle and Shirley terraces often mean dismantling wardrobes and beds
✓ Parking – busy residential streets and permit areas near the hospital and Polygon need planning
✓ Hospital traffic – roads around Southampton General get busy, so we time moves to avoid peak hours
✓ Steep stairs – upper-floor flats and maisonettes need extra care and time
✓ Quick motorway access – the M271 is minutes away for longer moves
