Covering: Newcastle upon Tyne, Gateshead, Jesmond, Gosforth, Whitley Bay, North Shields, Hexham and the rest of the NE postcode area.
The local landmark: The Tyne Bridge arcs over the quayside and the Angel of the North spreads its wings above Gateshead.
Students: Newcastle University and Northumbria University sit side by side in the city centre, with Jesmond and Heaton the classic student postcodes.
On the ground: Tyneside flats, the area's distinctive two-door terraced flats, mix with student lets in Jesmond and Heaton and solid semis in Gosforth. If carrying is the hard part, Assisted from £349 brings us inside, with a two-person crew when furniture or bikes are aboard (£15 per end for 2nd or 3rd floor with no lift, £30 for 4th and up).
Who makes this move: Two big universities and low living costs pull students north, while many Tyneside graduates head to London and send their belongings ahead.
While you wait for the van: The Tyne Bridge was built by Dorman Long of Middlesbrough, the firm that also built the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
