Moving to London from Europe
International removals to London
Moving to London from the Continent? We bring households into the capital from France, Italy, Spain and Portugal — planned as a route pair, from your address abroad to your new London door, with the customs handled.
An international move to London is really two moves joined together: the careful pack and load at your home abroad, and the long road part that follows — across the Continent to a Channel crossing, then up into the capital and its tight streets. We keep both in the same hands. One team surveys and packs your home, loads the van, and stays with the move to your London door, so nothing is handed to a stranger at a depot along the way.
Most of our European work runs by road. From your region it’s across the destination country to the coast, over by Eurotunnel or the Dover ferry from Calais, then up the M20 and M2 to the M25 and into North, East, South, West or Central London. We plan the crossing and the London approach around the realities of the road — and the same permits, ULEZ and lift-and-loading-bay logistics we handle on a UK move apply just as much when your things arrive from abroad.
Coming to London from within the UK instead? That’s the heart of what we do too — see long-distance moves to London from the North, the Midlands, the South West, Wales, Scotland and the coast.

Since Brexit, bringing a household into the UK means clearing customs, and that’s exactly the part we take off your hands. For belongings you’re bringing to a new main home in the UK there’s a recognised process, and the move runs on an itemised inventory plus the transit and customs documents that carry your goods across the border. We prepare that paperwork with you, explain what you need to sign and why, and route the load through the crossing properly. You won’t be left working out a customs form at the port.
Timing depends on the route, the crossing and whether your goods travel as a dedicated or a shared load — your written quote sets out an estimated window rather than a promise we can’t keep. What stays constant is the care: the same wrapping, the same inventory and the same team, from a home in France, Italy, Spain or Portugal to your new London address.
