Long Distance Removals — Metro City Moves
Metro City Moves provides dedicated long distance removal services from London to any destination in the United Kingdom. Unlike groupage services that mix your belongings with other customers' loads, we send a dedicated van and crew exclusively for your move — meaning your possessions are loaded at your London home and unloaded directly at your new destination without stopping at a depot or sharing space with strangers' furniture. Our teams maintain real-time communication throughout the journey, and every long distance move is covered by our comprehensive goods-in-transit insurance. With over a decade of experience operating from South Woodford and across all London boroughs, we are the reliable single point of contact you need for a stress-free nationwide move.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you do shared loads or groupage for long distance moves?
No — we operate dedicated removal services only. Groupage, where your belongings share a lorry with other customers' items, can seem cheaper on the surface but comes with significant drawbacks: your move may be delayed if another customer's shipment is not ready, your delivery date can be uncertain, and the risk of damage or mix-up increases when multiple loads are handled together. With Metro City Moves, your dedicated van and crew are booked exclusively for your move from start to finish, giving you certainty over collection and delivery times.
How long does a long distance removal take?
The duration depends on the distance and the time required to load and unload. A move from London to Birmingham or Bristol typically takes six to eight hours including driving, while a move to Manchester or Leeds might take eight to ten hours. Scotland — Edinburgh, Glasgow, or beyond — is likely to require an early start and, for very large moves, may span two days. We plan every long distance removal in advance and will give you a realistic timeline at the time of booking. For moves requiring an overnight stop, we factor this into the pricing transparently upfront. Call 07346595376 to discuss your specific origin and destination.
What areas of the UK do you cover?
We cover all mainland UK destinations from our London base. Common long distance routes include London to Manchester, London to Birmingham, London to Bristol, London to Leeds, London to Edinburgh, and London to Cardiff — but we regularly move customers to destinations throughout England, Wales, and Scotland. If you are moving to a rural or remote location, let us know at the time of enquiry and we will confirm access requirements and any relevant considerations for the delivery address.
Is there extra insurance for long distance moves?
All Metro City Moves services — including long distance moves — are covered by our standard goods-in-transit insurance policy. For particularly high-value items such as antiques, artwork, or specialist equipment, we recommend discussing additional declared-value cover at the time of booking. We can advise on the appropriate level of cover for your specific belongings and, where necessary, point you towards specialist insurers who offer additional removal cover as a top-up.
