The service, locally
Long distance moves from London priced by formula
Long distance moves from London to anywhere in the UK — all 33 boroughs, every postcode. Most national removals firms hide their pricing behind a survey because the number is negotiable. Ours is not: a long distance removal is £65 per hour of crew time plus £1.50 per road mile, with one hour loading and one hour unloading included as the baseline. You can work out your own price on this page before you speak to us.

How it works
Three steps and a price that holds
Send both postcodes and the London home size
Where you are leaving in London, where you are going, how many bedrooms and the floor you are on. That is the whole input — the formula does the rest.
See the sum, not just a total
We send the crew hours, the real road miles via the M1, M4 and M40, and the two multiplications that produce your fixed price. If you disagree with an input, we change the input, not the price.
One crew loads, drives and unloads
Kerbside load in a suspended bay, then straight onto the motorway. The same team that empties your London home carries it into the new one — no depot transfer, no shared load, no re-quote on the day.
Why us
Why London moves with us over the long haul
The formula is published, not negotiated
£65 an hour of crew time plus £1.50 a road mile, printed on the page before you speak to anyone. Two people moving the same load out of London on the same day pay the same price.
Mileage is measured, not estimated
We price the road distance the lorry actually drives, not a straight line on a map. London to Manchester is 200 road miles and is charged as 200 — a 2-bed at £560, fixed.
One crew, one vehicle, door to door
Your load is never consolidated with another household's or dropped at a depot overnight. That is why our long-distance dates hold and our damage rate stays where it is.
One formula across all 33 boroughs
£65 an hour and £1.50 a mile, VAT, fuel, blankets, straps, trolley and transit insurance inside it. Congestion Charge, ULEZ and bay suspensions are quoted as their own lines.

About the area
Moving out of London what the load looks like
A long-distance move is two jobs bolted together: a London load and a motorway run. The London half is decided by stairs, kerb distance and whether the lorry can legally stand outside your door; the motorway half is simple arithmetic once you measure the real road distance rather than a straight line. Pricing them separately is what makes the total honest — and it is why a Zone 2 walk-up to Bristol can cost more than a Zone 5 driveway to Leeds, even though Leeds is seventy miles further.
Getting out of London: M1, M4 and the M25
A London long-distance run pays its first toll in minutes rather than miles — getting clear of the zone is the slow part, so we plan the departure slot around it and then measure the real road distance from there.
Questions
Long distance moves from London answered
One sum: £65 per hour of crew time plus £1.50 per road mile, with one hour loading and one hour unloading included as the baseline. A 2-bed to Manchester is four crew hours (£260) plus 200 road miles (£300) — £560 in total, fixed before you book.
VAT, fuel, the lorry, the crew, blankets, straps, a trolley, goods-in-transit and public liability insurance, and the driving. Congestion Charge, ULEZ and any suspended-bay fee are quoted alongside it as their own lines so you can see exactly what London itself is costing you.
Yes — all 33 boroughs and 327 named areas, from Uxbridge to Upminster. The formula is identical everywhere; only the crew hours and the road miles from your postcode change.
One crew, one vehicle, door to door. Your furniture is not transferred to a depot or consolidated with another household's load, which is the usual reason a cheap long-distance quote arrives three days late with a scratched wardrobe.
Two to three weeks for a weekday, four for a Friday or a month-end, and longer over the August and Christmas peaks. If you are completing on a chain we can hold a provisional date and confirm when your solicitor does.
Anything beyond roughly 250 miles — Newcastle, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Cornwall — is normally run as two days with an overnight stop, because drivers' hours rules make a same-day unload unsafe and unrealistic. That overnight is a published add-on, not a surprise.
