Man and van London to Edinburgh
Not moving a whole house? A man and van covers the 405 miles to Edinburgh for a smaller load, with the same care as a full removal. A man and van is usually the most cost-effective option for a studio or one-bedroom move on this route.

Long journeys are hard on badly packed boxes. We pack china, glass and pictures properly for the 405 miles to Edinburgh, and can supply all the materials.
Storage between London and Edinburgh
If your completion dates do not line up, we can collect in London, store your belongings securely and deliver to Edinburgh when your new home is ready.
Piano and specialist items
Heavy and valuable items such as pianos, safes and antiques need planning. Tell us about them up front and we will bring the right kit to London.
Student moves
End of term? We move student rooms between London and Edinburgh, with no minimum load and times that fit around exams.
Moving into 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.
Scotland has its own property and school systems. If you are buying, your solicitor will confirm the date of entry, and it is worth booking your move early, because Scottish entry dates often cluster around the end of the month.
Scottish moves are among our longest routes, so we plan driver hours carefully and agree a delivery window with you in advance.
Before moving day, check whether your new street in Edinburgh has parking restrictions, and let us know about narrow roads, steps or long carries so we bring the right vehicle.
Leaving London
London's ULEZ and Congestion Charge can add cost to a move, so we price them in from the start rather than adding them on the day.
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.
If you are leaving a flat, check with your managing agent about lift bookings, loading bay times and any rules on moving hours.
