International removals from London, from first call to final delivery
Moving abroad comes with complications a standard London removal simply doesn’t have: shipping schedules, customs declarations, export-grade packing, and a destination that could be across the Channel or on the other side of the world. You’re not alone in making this move. ONS data published in May 2026 records an estimated 246,000 British nationals leaving the UK in the year ending December 2025. We collect from any London postcode, including central London, and manage everything through to delivery at your new address.
Europe by road
For European moves we run regular road services to France, Germany, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, Belgium, and beyond. Choose a dedicated Luton van or 7.5-tonne lorry for a full-load move, or a shared groupage service if your volume is smaller and timing is flexible. Our house removals crew handles collection from your London address, and our European partners deliver at the other end. You have one point of contact throughout.
Worldwide by sea or air
For destinations further afield, we arrange sea freight in full or shared containers and air freight for smaller or time-sensitive shipments. Container shipping suits whole-house moves to Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the USA, the UAE, and many other destinations worldwide. Air freight is the right choice when speed matters more than cost. We arrange transport, port handling, transit insurance, and customs clearance at the destination, as well as delivery to your new front door.
Customs and paperwork managed
Every international move generates paperwork. Customs declarations, import permits, detailed inventory lists, and destination-country requirements all have to be correct before your belongings cross a border. Get something wrong and your shipment can be held up for weeks. We prepare every document, check it against the rules for your destination country, and make sure everything is in order before your load departs. You sign what needs signing. We handle the rest.
Packing built for long journeys
A sofa packed for a move across London and one packed for shipping to the other side of the world need to be treated very differently. Items going overseas need export-grade double-walled boxes, specialist furniture wrapping, and timber-braced crates for fragile pieces. Our crews use the same specialist techniques as our packing service and apply them to export standard. Everything is prepared to handle port loading, container conditions, and transit times measured in weeks, not hours.
What affects the price?
The main factors are the volume of your load, the destination country, and whether you need a dedicated or shared service. Packing, storage, and specialist crating add to the cost if you need them. Compare My Move puts the average cost of an international removal from the UK at between £1,600 and £7,600 depending on size and destination. We quote every job individually. The price confirmed before you book is the price you pay.

The team Londoners trust for international moves
Insured door to door
Goods-in-transit cover runs from the moment our crew arrives at your London address right through to delivery at your destination. Your belongings are protected at every stage of the journey.
Fixed prices confirmed upfront
Your quote is set before anything is packed. The rate doesn’t change because the container is loaded or the lorry has crossed the Channel. The price we confirm is the price you pay.
Experienced crews, right materials
The team packing your belongings for an overseas move knows what export-standard means in practice. Right boxes, right wrapping, right techniques from the first item to the last.
Paperwork and customs handled
We prepare inventory lists, customs forms, and destination-country documentation so your load arrives at the border ready to clear. No unexpected holds, no missing paperwork.
How to prepare for your international move
A few things done before packing day will save time and make your customs process far smoother.
- Declutter before the survey. The less that goes, the smaller the load and the lower the quote.
- Write a detailed list of high-value and fragile items so they can be assessed individually and covered correctly.
- Check the import rules for your destination country before you start packing. Some items are restricted or require permits, and finding out early saves a lot of trouble.
- Book as early as you can. Container sailings and shared groupage services run to fixed schedules and spaces fill quickly.
- Confirm access at both ends of the move so we can plan the right vehicle and crew size well in advance.
