Moving Out of London in 2026 — Fixed-Price Routes to the Home Counties & Beyond

London-leaver routes to Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and beyond — one crew end-to-end from our WC1 base, with 7 regional HomeGo branches at the other end.

Roughly one in three enquiries at our Bloomsbury branch is a London-leaver move — families and remote workers trading zone 2 for a garden in the Home Counties. This is where HomeGo has a structural advantage no central-London-only firm can match: we already have branches at the destination end.

Why both-ends local knowledge matters

A London crew that's never worked Maidenhead doesn't know the RBWM parking-dispensation rules; one that's never done Oxford doesn't know the ZEZ. Our route pairings put the London branch at origin and the receiving branch's knowledge at destination — one crew, one van, one fixed price, zero trans-loading.

Popular 2026 leaver routes & fixed ranges (3-bed)

  • London → Reading / Wokingham (M4 corridor): £880–£1,380 — supported by our Queens Walk RG1 branch
  • London → Maidenhead / Windsor: £860–£1,340 — supported by our SL6 branch
  • London → Oxford: £940–£1,480 — supported by our Littlemore OX4 branch
  • London → Milton Keynes: £920–£1,460 — supported by our Marlborough Gate MK9 branch
  • London → Birmingham: £1,080–£1,680 — supported by our Sparkbrook B11 branch

All prices fixed, written, and fixed-price — no fuel surcharges, no mileage creep.

Timing a leaver move

Leave London early: a 7am load in WC1 clears the North Circular before 10am and puts you at a Berkshire completion by lunchtime. Friday completions are the estate-agent default but Tuesday–Thursday saves real money and stress. School-summer-holiday Fridays are the single busiest slots of the year — book 3+ weeks ahead.

Storage between sale and purchase

Chain break? Our Burnham HQ and Uxbridge depots hold London leavers' goods from £15/week per cubic metre — CCTV-monitored, climate-stable, and conveniently ON your westbound route rather than a detour back into town.
