Long Distance Removals

Moving from
London to Manchester

approximately 200 miles
3.5–4.5 hours

Moving from London to Manchester is one of the most popular long-distance removal routes in the UK, driven by Manchester's growing reputation as a world-class city with a significantly lower cost of living than the capital. Daley & Co has been making this journey for families and businesses for decades.

Moving from London

London is the UK's largest city, and moving out of the capital presents specific challenges — from navigating the ULEZ and Congestion Charge zones to securing parking suspensions in the capital's densely packed residential streets. Our London-experienced team handles all of this as standard.

Moving to Manchester

Manchester offers a compelling combination of world-class culture, excellent transport links, and property prices that are typically 40% lower than equivalent London addresses. Popular destinations for London movers include Didsbury, Chorlton, Altrincham, and the city centre's converted mill apartments.

The Route

The most common route is via the M1 and M6 motorways, with a journey time of approximately 3.5–4.5 hours depending on traffic. Our removal lorries are equipped with satellite navigation and our drivers are experienced with both the London and Manchester road networks.

Tips for Your London to Manchester Move

  • Book at least 6–8 weeks in advance for a London-to-Manchester move — this is one of our most popular routes.
  • Consider a two-day move for larger properties — we can store your belongings overnight at our secure facility.
  • If you are moving from a London flat, check whether your building has a service lift and book it in advance.
  • Manchester City Council parking suspension applications should be made at least two weeks before your move date.
