The service, locally
Long distance moves from City of London priced by formula
Long distance moves from City of London — all 10 areas, to anywhere in the UK. A long distance removal out of City of London is two numbers and nothing else: the crew hours it takes to empty your home and the road miles to the new one, at £65 an hour and £1.50 a mile. Central London loads pay their motorway toll in minutes rather than miles: getting out of the zone is the slow part, and we plan the departure slot around it.

How it works
Three steps and a price that holds
Send both postcodes and the City of London home size
Where you are leaving in City of 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 M1, M4 and the M25, 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
Booked goods lift and loading bay, trolleyed to the tail lift. The same team that empties your City of London home carries it into the new one — no depot transfer, no shared load, no re-quote on the day.
Why us
Why City of 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 City 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. City of 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.
Goods lift and bay slots in City of London blocks
Managed blocks want the lift booked and the bay reserved, usually with 48 hours' notice. Tell us the building at quote stage and we work to the slot, so the crew hours you are charged are the hours you were quoted.
Transparent mileage pricing
Long distance prices from City of London the sum, not just the total
The formula
£65/hour crew time + £1.50/road mile

About the area
Moving out of City of London what the load looks like
The Square Mile — banking towers, medieval lanes and a resident population dwarfed by 500,000 weekday workers. Roman Londinium's walled city, rebuilt after the 1666 fire and again after the Blitz, now layered with towers around Bishopsgate. For a long-distance load that history matters twice: it decides the housing stock the crew has to carry through — barbican and golden lane flats, converted counting houses and a handful of new riverside blocks. — and it decides how the lorry leaves. Congestion Charge and ULEZ, ring-of-steel camera controls, almost no free kerb — loading bays must be booked around office hours. Once loaded, M1, M4 and the M25 carry the run north or west, and the mileage from that junction is what you are actually paying £1.50 a mile for.
Getting out of London: M1, M4 and the M25
Central London loads pay their motorway toll in minutes rather than miles: getting out of the zone is the slow part, and we plan the departure slot around it.

M1, M4 and the M25. Central London loads pay their motorway toll in minutes rather than miles: getting out of the zone is the slow part, and we plan the departure slot around it.
All 10 areas across EC1, EC2, EC3, EC4. Each has its own page with the access reality for that postcode, because that is what sets the crew hours.
Congestion Charge and ULEZ, ring-of-steel camera controls, almost no free kerb — loading bays must be booked around office hours. Where the lorry cannot legally stand outside, we arrange a bay suspension with City of London Corporation and show the fee as its own line rather than folding it into the price.
Yes. Full packing is a published add-on from £180 including materials and labour, priced from the room count. Most long-distance customers take it for the kitchen and the fragiles and pack their own clothes.
Goods-in-transit and public liability cover apply for the whole journey, not just the London end. Higher-value single items — a piano, a safe, an antique — are declared at survey and priced with the extra crew and equipment they need.

4.5 ★ from 3,131 Trustpilot reviewsWe used them for our house move in Kingston. Abdullah and his colleague were very friendly and polite. They did an outstanding job
Had an above and beyond experience with our cleaners, Diana and Alex. They were honest, professional, friendly, and did an amazing job with what they were tasked with. When moving house I’d always assume that there would be the odd cupboard or bathroom that would be filthy, but not an entire 4 bedroom house like… Read in full →
Jose and Maria deep cleaned our new house from top to bottom. Polite and courteous, very hard working. The best decision we made to help us settle into our new home. Thank you :)
