Moving To The UK - Map Of The United Kingdom

The UK is a beautiful country, both in nature and personality. How well you understand it will depend on how many of its pieces you slot together: the longer you stay, the clearer the bigger picture will become.

Moving and Living in The UK

The United Kingdom consists of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Scattered across the UK are many features. From the shimmering White Cliffs of Dover to the wild splendour of the Scottish Highlands. From the jagged shards of Snowdonia National Park and the stone forest that is the Giant’s Causeway.

The UK is a beautiful country, both in nature and personality. How well you understand it will depend on how many of its features you take in. The longer you stay, the more respect you have have for its natural beauty.

The UK’s major cities are bursting with life and activity; from the vibrant riverside paths of the London South Bank to the relaxed atmosphere of Cardiff Bay. The jolly crowds at the Edinburgh Festival to the rambunctious, Guinness swilling in the pubs of Belfast. But, there’s far more to discover outside the big cities.

Moving To The UK - Big Ben

Explore the glorious UK countryside and its landmarks with a brisk walk in the Brecon Beacon. Take a jaunt along the Fife Coastal Path, a journey to the Giant’s Causeway or a trip to Stone Henge. Delve into history in Derry, admire the gardens at Powis Castle, follow the Speyside Malt Whisky Trail or take a Roman bath in Bath.

Bask in the splendour of Brighton’s Royal Pavilion or hit the waves on Cornwall’s beaches. Relax in the afternoon sun in Tenby or hit the shops in the centre of Glasgow. If you feel peckish after all that exploring, there’s plenty to choose from. From Michelin stars to fish and chips, cream teas to Welsh rarebit. Irish stew to haggis, neeps and tatties. Dig into a hearty plate of bangers and mash, help yourself to a Glamorgan sausage or take a bite of some Scottish shortbread. Or finally, sit down for a traditional Sunday roast, with all the trimmings.

Moving Reviews about Moving to The UK

Dedicated to Excellence In Communication

Christine and Melissa were a huge help arranging 2 different shipments of items from Newcastle to London including some unusual and unique things. The coordination and communication throughout the process was excellent which made the process stress-free given my remote location during the uplift. Items all arrived in great condition and were handled with care. Would definitely recommend and use again for future moves.

Moving Review – Excellent

I am writing a review about the first part of our removal experience. Christine and Melissa were very helpful and professional throughout the process of creating an inventory for the items we needed shipping from our three bedroom home on The Gold Coast to East Sussex England, the UK. The removal guys Josh and Matthew from Brisbane were amazing. They smashed it! They packed our items in record time and were courteous and calm throughout. It made a potentially stressful day seamlessly smooth. We are super grateful. Thank you guys!

Sydney To The UK

We have used OSS Worldwide for move from Sydney to the UK. From our first interaction with Sam, To quotation, insurance, booking, payments, pack and uplift the entire experience was first class. Ali, Dean, Jay and Courtney who did our pack and uplift were fantastic and a credit to the OSS Team. Professional, helpful and friendly. We would highly recommend OSS to anyone we know relocating and requiring shipping. They were even able to assist with the move of our puppy. Fantastic experience from start to finish. Thanks OSS.

Professional And Efficient

OSS World Wide Movers were contracted to collect solid wood furniture from two addresses in Melbourne, Victoria, then transport them to the Channel Islands in the UK. The entire transaction was arranged by a third party. The team arrived when promised and packed the furniture into the container in record time. We then drove to the second location where the guys repeated the same process! When dealing with the office staff I found them very professional plus they kept me fully informed via email as we went along. I can happily recommend OSS for any overseas relocations.

Very Positive Experience

Moved from Brisbane to UK and really happy with the service I received, the packing crew were friendly and communicated well and the office staff were always helpful with my queries. I found them to be competitively priced and they definitely made the process of moving our classic car and 6 cbm of personal effects less stressful!

This Was A Perfect Process And Highly Recommend!!

My family and i relocated from Melb to London and the process led by OSS was exceptional !! The team that arrived on the day could not have been better – great guys and couldn’t do enough to help us. They were so respectful of our house and belongings and were just lovely guys to deal with. Adam the Sales Manager of OSS was exceptional and OSS should be thankful he is leading the operation. He even called to check in and see how our move was going and followed up a few times since. Impressive!!

Moving From Melbourne To Northern Ireland

We needed a 20 foot container for our move. The staff at the office were top of class. The 2 men who came to our home to pack our belongings were the best workers and so careful with our furniture and household items. All arrived in good condition and were delivered by a team of 3. We were able to check the location of our shipment and it arrived right on time. Our experience with OSS has been great and reliable and good value for money.

Most Wonderful Experience

I can not speak highly enough of OSS! From the initial enquiry to the final drop off, all was of the highest of service and standard! I moved from Sydney to Germany, then to Scotland and back to Sydney so this was not a small job and as I had many breakable valuable items, I was so worried when I finally unpacked all my belongings back in Sydney BUT I was so happy to find all was perfect. My main contact was Colleen at OSS and I am so thankful and grateful to her for all she did for me to make this huge mission run so smoothly. I would not hesitate to use OSS again!

Moving To London – England

Thank you for the smooth and pain free move during the height of pandemic (1 Bedroom apartment) to London from Melbourne. Excellent advice provided from the first point of contact to delivery was brilliant and most appreciated. I was fully supported and informed on the necessary documents needed in a timely manner at both ends. OSS partnered with ReloUK, both highly professional teams. I would definitely recommend this company and use their services in future. Well done and thank you.
