Moving to or from Hampshire?

Let M&G Do the Heavy Lifting (Before the M3 Junction Sends You Round in Circles)

Welcome to Hampshire — England’s southern powerhouse, where cathedral cities meet coastal harbours and the M3 keeps London within striking distance. With around 1.8 million residents who know the shortcut to the New Forest better than any sat‑nav, Hampshire blends countryside calm with urban buzz.

Schools That Actually Impress

Winchester College (the independent heavyweight), Peter Symonds College, and King Edward VI School in Southampton all carry strong reputations. Translation: your kids will get a solid education, and you’ll have plenty of parents comparing exam results at the school gates.

Economy With a Balance

Hampshire’s economy is a mix of shipping, defence, and technology, anchored by Portsmouth’s naval base and Basingstoke’s business parks. Add in commuters heading to London, Southampton, and Reading, and you’ve got a county that’s practical, connected, and quietly thriving.

Things to Do (Besides Timing the M3 Traffic)

  • New Forest National Park – ponies, trails, and wide‑open landscapes.

  • Winchester Cathedral – gothic splendour and historic charm.

  • Local favourites – Southampton FC for matchday buzz, Portsmouth Historic Dockyard for maritime history, and coastal walks for fresh air and photo ops.

Moving Services That Keep It Simple

At M&G, we can’t fix the M3 bottleneck, but we can make moving day a whole lot easier:

  • Full packing services

  • Secure, insured storage (ideal if your chain moves slower than traffic at Junction 9)
