Moving from Watford to Oxford

Oxford is an easy drive and a careful arrival. The M25 and M40 get the van there in about an hour, and then the city takes over: bus gates and restricted streets in the centre, a zero emission zone over part of it, and Victorian terraces in Jericho and east Oxford with the same narrow halls as north Watford.

The journey

Distance: about 45 miles
Drive time: an hour to an hour and a half
Usual roads: M25 west, then the M40

Typical figures from central Watford. Traffic decides the day, so we plan the departure around it.

Getting to the door in Oxford

The centre of Oxford is not a place to improvise a route. Several streets are closed to through traffic by bus gates, and parking outside a terrace in Jericho, Summertown or Cowley Road is as tight as anywhere in Watford. We plan the approach and the stopping point before the day.

If the new home is a college or university flat, ask about access times and where vans can stop. Those rules are set by the building, not the council.

What it costs

Long-distance moves from Watford start from £350. The figure for your move depends on its size and the access at both ends, and covers the whole trip door to door. See our prices page for starting figures, or send both addresses for one fixed price.

Watford to Oxford: questions

Does the Oxford zero emission zone affect my move?+

It covers part of the city centre. We check whether your new address is inside it and plan the route, and any charge that applies is in the quote, not added afterwards.

How long does the move take?+

The drive is about an hour, more at rush hour. A family house is a full day with the loading and unloading at both ends.
