London → Italy

Removals from London to Italy

A longer run across France and over the border — the Alpine tunnels into the industrial north, or the Riviera coast road into Liguria and Tuscany.

The route

Why this move
from London.

Italy is a proper journey from London, and the routing is chosen to fit the destination. Out of London and across France, the load either climbs through the Alpine tunnels — Fréjus or Mont Blanc — into the Turin and Milan north, or hugs the Riviera coast road via Ventimiglia into Liguria and the Tuscan coast. From the north the autostrada network carries everything down the peninsula to Florence, Rome and beyond.

The moves we run from London to Italy divide neatly. Milan is the professional anchor — finance, fashion, design and the corporate north — with Turin and Bologna adding engineering and university relocations. Then there is the lifestyle side: Tuscany for the farmhouse and the villa, the lakes at Como and Garda for the second home, and Rome for a mix of professional postings and institutional moves. Because our strength is timing the London collection precisely, the far end being in Italy changes the drive, not the care.

Post-Brexit, an Italian move needs a customs declaration, and we keep that honest and clear. Transfer-of-residence relief covers used household goods on a genuine relocation, filed against your Italian paperwork and a detailed inventory. Your Italian-side steps — the codice fiscale and the comune residency registration — are yours to complete; our filing supports the relief so your belongings clear cleanly rather than sitting in limbo.

Where we deliver

Destinations across Italy.

6 regions

Milan & Lombardy

Finance, fashion and design. Central apartment blocks and ZTL limited-traffic zones shape the delivery — a permitted window or a transfer for the last stretch is often needed.

Rome

Professional and institutional relocations. The centro storico is tight and ZTL-restricted; districts like Parioli and EUR are more straightforward.

Florence & Tuscany

Farmhouse and villa moves across Florence, Siena and the Chianti hills — rural lanes and turning space worth flagging.

Turin

Engineering, automotive and university moves, and the closest major city to the Alpine tunnel crossings.

The Lakes (Como, Garda, Maggiore)

Second-home and lifestyle moves. Lakeside villa access is often steep and narrow — a smaller vehicle for the final approach is common.

Bologna & Emilia-Romagna

University city and the engineering and food-industry belt; portico-lined historic streets constrain access.

Customs, handled

No “sort it
at the border.”

Italy sits outside the UK, so a move needs a customs declaration on both sides. We prepare the UK export side before the vehicle leaves London and the Italian import side for arrival. Transfer-of-residence relief (trasferimento di residenza) covers used household goods on a genuine move, filed against your Italian paperwork and a signed inventory. The codice fiscale (tax code) and the iscrizione anagrafica (comune residency registration) are steps you complete in Italy; our filing supports the customs relief rather than obtaining them for you.

Worth thinking about

The London collection hour — a central-London or tower-block pickup often works best in the evening or at a weekend, which we can arrange as part of the Italy job.

ZTL limited-traffic zones in Milan, Rome, Florence and Bologna — a central delivery may need a permitted window or a transfer from a nearby holding point.

Your codice fiscale and comune registration — the relief leans on both, so having the tax code in hand or a clear timeline helps the customs side close.

London to Italy — questions

Good to know.

Which route do you take to Italy?

Across France, then over the border by the Alpine tunnels (Fréjus or Mont Blanc) into the Turin and Milan north, or by the Riviera coast road via Ventimiglia into Liguria and Tuscany. From the north the autostrada carries the load south. We pick the crossing that fits your destination and explain it in the quote.

Can you deliver into a ZTL zone in a city centre?

Yes, with planning. Milan, Rome, Florence and Bologna restrict vehicles in their historic cores, so a central delivery may need a permitted timing window or a transfer from a nearby point. Give us the exact address and we build the delivery around the restriction.

Is the London collection still flexible for a long move like Italy?

Absolutely. The length of the drive does not change how we handle the London end — if the building or street needs an out-of-hours collection, we plan the load for that hour and set off from there.

Do you move to a Tuscan farmhouse or a lakeside villa?

Yes — both are among the most common Italy moves. They often have steep, narrow or unmade final access, so a smaller transfer vehicle may handle the last stretch. Note the access when you send the details and we plan around it.
