Our recent London to Newquay moving service was a true showcase of teamwork and planning.
In one day, we covered a 570-mile round trip, moving a 2-bedroom flat in Islington, London, into a spacious 3-bedroom home in Cornwall.
The whole process, from loading to unloading, took around 11 hours and was completed smoothly thanks to our experienced team.
Long-distance removals from London to Cornwall
At Best London Removals, we often help families and professionals relocate not only across Greater London but also to destinations further afield such as Cornwall.
This particular move involved a third-floor Islington flat without a lift, making the London loading stage challenging, but our crew managed it efficiently.
Once everything was on the road, the transition into a Newquay house — with no stairs to worry about — became far more straightforward.
Team composition, van and moving equipment
For this London to Cornwall removal, we arranged:
3 movers for loading in London
2 movers for unloading in Newquay
3.5t Maxi Mover moving van
Protective wrapping and strong moving boxes
Our vans are fully equipped for long-distance relocations, ensuring that furniture and personal items remain safe throughout the journey.
How we managed a same-day London to Newquay house move
Loading the London flat
The team started promptly at 7:00 am in Islington. Despite the challenge of moving items from a third-floor flat with no lift, the three movers completed loading within three hours. By 9:45 am the van was ready to depart, and at 10:00 am we set off for Cornwall.
Unloading in Newquay, Cornwall
After a five-hour journey — including a driver change and a short break — we reached the stunning Cornish coastline. Two movers carried out the unloading, completing the job within an hour and a half.

Can a London to Newquay move be done in one day?
Our recent move from Islington, London, to Newquay, Cornwall, was completed in a single day, covering a 570‑mile round trip in around 11 hours.

On the day itself we handle the logistics only, including loading, travel, unloading, and reassembling furniture.
