Removal services from Preston to London
House removals from Preston to London
Your whole home moved from Preston 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 Preston to London
Ideal for flats, students and smaller loads. You book a Luton van with one or two movers for the 231-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 Preston to London.

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
End of term? We move student rooms between Preston and London, with no minimum load and times that fit around exams.
Arriving in 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.
Parking is often the hardest part of a London move. If your street has permit bays or yellow lines, a borough parking suspension keeps space free for the lorry on moving day.
For flats with lifts or concierge desks, let the building know your moving date and ask whether the lift needs to be reserved.
Leaving Preston
Most North West moves run up the M6, and we plan departures to avoid the busiest stretches around Birmingham.
When leaving Preston, 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.
