Wembley → France
Removals from Wembley to France
France is the move NW London makes most — near enough for a road trip, far enough to feel like a fresh start. Here’s how we get a household from HA9 to Paris, the Dordogne or the Riviera, paperwork and all.
Of all the routes we run, France is the one people picture most easily — the Channel, an autoroute, a stone house with shutters. It’s also the one where a good plan matters, because “near” lulls people into treating it like a domestic move when there’s still a border, a language and a set of forms in between. We move households from Wembley to France by road, surveyed and inventoried here, with the customs side prepared before we leave.
Who moves from Wembley to France
It’s a real mix, which suits a place as varied as Wembley — families swapping a terrace for space in the French countryside, couples buying in the Dordogne or the Lot, professionals posted to Paris, and people retiring to Provence or the Languedoc for the light and the slower pace. Each move has its own rhythm, which is why we survey first.
The route to France
We load in Wembley and head out on the A406 and A40 to the M25, then down the M20 to the Kent coast — the Eurotunnel shuttle from Folkestone or a ferry from Dover to Calais. Once in France the roads split by destination: the A1 and A16 for Paris and the north, the A6 corridor towards Burgundy and the Alps, and the long run south-west on the A10 and A62 towards Bordeaux and Toulouse. For the deep south it’s the Rhône valley on the A7 down to Provence and the coast.
Customs and paperwork since Brexit
This is the part people dread, and the part we quietly take care of. A household move to France now needs a full inventory and the transit and customs documents that go with moving personal effects into the EU. We prepare them, file them, and keep them travelling with your goods so nothing is held up for want of a form. There are no day counts we’d promise for the border — timing depends on the route and the paperwork — but the work itself is done for you.
What we move
Whole houses or part-loads, furniture and boxes, and the things that make a home a home. We pack as much as you want with proper materials, protect it for a long road, and rebuild at the French end. If your dates don’t line up, we can store on the Wembley side until you’re ready. Heading somewhere else? See the rest of our European routes.
FAQ
Wembley to France — common questions
How do my things get from Wembley to France?
By road. We load in Wembley, run out on the A406 and A40 to the M25 and down to the Kent coast, then cross by Eurotunnel shuttle or ferry to Calais. From there it’s the French autoroutes — the A1 to Paris, the A10 and A62 to the south-west, or the A6 towards the Alps and the south-east.
Do you go to the south of France as well as Paris?
Yes. Paris and the north are common for work moves, but plenty of our France work heads south — the Dordogne, the Lot, Provence and the Côte d’Azur for people buying or retiring. The route is longer but it’s the same through-loaded lorry and the same crew.
What paperwork do I need to move to France?
A detailed inventory and the transit and customs documents a household move now needs post-Brexit. We prepare and file them for you. You’ll need your own ID and proof of the move; we’ll tell you exactly what to have ready.
Can you handle a part-load to France?
If you’re not filling a lorry — a flat rather than a house, or just what you’re taking now — a shared load can make sense, with your goods consolidated alongside other moves on the same route. We’ll say honestly whether it suits your move.
