International removals from Wimbledon
Planned road moves from SW19 to France, Italy, Spain and Portugal — packed with the same care as a local move, with the customs side handled for you.
A move to Europe is a local move with a longer second half. It still starts with a survey on a Wimbledon doorstep and a proper pack — it just ends on an autoroute, at a Costa villa or a Tuscan farmhouse instead of round the corner. We run that whole journey, and we handle the paperwork that now comes with it.
European removals, route by route
Rather than claim the whole continent, we run a focused set of corridors we know well. Each has its own page with the real geography, the crossing and the customs detail — from removals from Wimbledon to France to the longer hauls south and east.
Wimbledon to France
Paris · Lyon · Bordeaux · Provence · the Riviera
The workhorse route south — out of SW19 onto the A3 and M25, a Channel crossing at Dover or the Eurotunnel, then the autoroutes down to wherever you are landing.
Wimbledon to Italy
Milan · Turin · Tuscany · Rome · the Lakes
A planned road move across France and over (or under) the Alps into northern Italy and beyond — the kind of long haul that rewards proper packing.
Wimbledon to Spain
Costa Blanca · Costa del Sol · Valencia · Madrid · Barcelona
The long, well-trodden corridor down through France and across the border to the Costas, the cities and the villages inland.
Wimbledon to Portugal
Lisbon · Porto · the Algarve · the Silver Coast
The western run — across France, down the spine of Spain, and out to the Atlantic coast for Lisbon, Porto or an Algarve villa.
Departing Wimbledon — collecting across the UK
Most of these moves leave from Wimbledon and the wider SW London area, out onto the A3 and the M25 for a Channel crossing. But the keyword for a European move is “where are you” more than “where’s the depot” — so we also collect from across the country when a route suits it, including London, Birmingham, Manchester, Bristol, Brighton, Leeds, Glasgow and Edinburgh. If you’re moving from one of those to France, Spain, Italy or Portugal, the plan is the same; only the first leg changes.
The part that trips people up: customs
Moving household goods from the UK into the EU changed after Brexit. There’s an inventory to prepare, transit and customs documents to file, and residence paperwork where relief from duty applies. It sounds heavier than it is once someone who does it regularly is handling it — which is the point of using a mover who runs these routes rather than a general haulier. We prepare it, file it and keep it moving so your goods aren’t sitting at a border while a form gets chased.
Packing and storage for a long move
Distance is hard on badly packed boxes, so European moves get the full treatment — proper materials, a labelled inventory, and careful loading for a journey measured in hundreds of miles rather than a few streets. If timings don’t align, we can store your things in Wimbledon before departure or arrange holding at the other end.

Which countries do you move to from Wimbledon?
We run dedicated European routes from Wimbledon to France, Italy, Spain and Portugal. Each is a planned road move — surveyed, packed and handled the same careful way as a local job, with the customs paperwork managed for you.
Do you only collect in Wimbledon?
Wimbledon is our base, but for European moves we collect across the UK — London, Brighton, Bristol, Birmingham, Manchester and further afield. If your pickup is somewhere else, just tell us the address.
How does customs work for a move to the EU?
Since Brexit a UK-to-EU household move needs the right documentation — a detailed inventory, transit and customs paperwork, and proof of residence where relief applies. We prepare and manage that as part of the move, so you’re not working it out at a border.
Can you store our things before or after the move?
Yes. If timings don’t line up, we can store your belongings in Wimbledon before departure or arrange holding at the other end, and fold it into the same plan.
