Your whole home moved from Edinburgh by one crew in one lorry. Furniture is blanket-wrapped, mattresses bagged and every box labelled by room for unloading in London. Larger homes are usually delivered the next morning, after an overnight stop.
Man and van Edinburgh to London
Ideal for flats, students and smaller loads. You book a Luton van with one or two movers for the 405-mile trip, with no minimum property size. If you only have a few rooms of furniture, this is often the cheapest way to get from Edinburgh to London.

Long journeys are hard on badly packed boxes. We pack china, glass and pictures properly for the 405 miles to London, and can supply all the materials.
Storage between Edinburgh and London
If your completion dates do not line up, we can collect in Edinburgh, store your belongings securely and deliver to London when your new home is ready.
Piano and specialist items
Moving a piano, antique or large piece of art to London? We use skids, straps and extra movers, and secure it properly in the vehicle for the whole journey.
Student moves
Heading between Edinburgh and London for university? Shared or small-load moves keep the cost down, and we can collect from halls or a shared house at a time that suits you.
Arriving in London
Most of Greater London is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ), and central London has the Congestion Charge on weekdays. Any charges that apply to our vehicles are included in your quote.
Many London streets have permit parking or red routes. If there is no space outside, we can advise on a parking suspension from your borough council, which usually needs about two weeks' notice.
For flats with lifts or concierge desks, let the building know your moving date and ask whether the lift needs to be reserved.
Leaving Edinburgh
Edinburgh has a Clean Air Zone. We check how the zone applies to the vehicles on your move and include any charge in your quote, so you never pay extra on the day.
Scottish school terms start in mid-August, earlier than in England, so families often move in late June or July.
Scottish moves are among our longest routes, so we plan driver hours carefully and agree a delivery window with you in advance.
When leaving Edinburgh, give your utility suppliers and council at least a week's notice, and tell us about any access issues such as steep drives, steps or no parking outside.
