Ngaire, when we were on VJ7 in 2004, Marcie arranged for a van for 8, (she can't remember the company we used), she requested a "trailer" for all of our luggage, and there was a LOT of it. Van showed up, but no trailer for luggage! You will be fine with two vans. Somehow, they managed to get all of our luggage crammed in, and we had a great "post-cruise" into London, where Jes and I got tickets at our hotel to Mama Mia, one of my all time favorites, and had some reasonably priced dinners in Chinatown abutting the theater district! No reservations, just walked around after the play the first night.
