London to Lyon is roughly 1,150km. Dedicated vehicle transit runs 3–5 days, part-load 5–8 days. The route goes via the Channel, south through Paris on the A6, and down the Autoroute du Soleil to Lyon. French weekend HGV restrictions apply on this route — we plan departure days around them as standard.

Vieux-Lyon — the old town on the west bank of the Saône — is a UNESCO site with narrow cobbled streets (traboules) that rule out full-size HGVs entirely. Deliveries here need a smaller vehicle for the final section. Part-Dieu, Confluence, and the newer residential areas to the east are more accessible for a full lorry.

Lyon also operates a low-emission zone (ZFE) covering most of the city. Our vehicles carry the correct Crit’Air classification — this doesn’t affect your move logistics but is worth knowing if you’re bringing a diesel vehicle from the UK.

Typical prices for UK to Lyon: £800–£1,350 part-load, £1,200–£1,800 studio or one-bed, £1,800–£2,700 two-bed, £2,500–£3,700 three-bed, £3,400–£4,500 four-bed or larger. Fixed after survey. See the Lyon guide or call 020 3150 2668.
