Route
The London → Leeds Route
The classic London-to-Leeds run is essentially M1 from start to finish. We pick the entry point based on your London pickup, then run north-east on the M1 to Leeds.
Standard route (M1)
London → A406 / A1 to M1 J1 → M1 northbound through Watford Gap, Northampton, Leicester, Nottingham, Sheffield → M1 J42 → A6110 ring road → Leeds. Approximately 200 miles, typically 3h45m–4h.
Alternative (M1 incidents)
If M1 has a major closure, driver may take A1(M) → Doncaster → A1/M62 → Leeds. Slightly longer (~210 mi) but reliable when M1 is gridlocked. Driver makes the call live based on traffic data.

★★★★★
"Moved son to Leeds Uni from West London. The MPV at fitted everything — desk, boxes, bedding, microwave. Driver did the M1 in 3h50m with one rest stop, helped unload at the LS6 student house. Way better than three trains and a removal van."

Ealing W5 → Leeds LS6
★★★★★
