Relocating to England
Moving to England from Canada is an exciting yet daunting experience. With its rich history, vibrant culture, and diverse cities, England offers a wide variety of life style, occupation and enjoyment options. Centuries of history are around every corner. The challenge moving there brings is planning and navigating the settling in process. Bekins Worldwide, using its decades of international move experience and expertise, is here to help you, with both the best time of year to move and what to expect on the day you move into your new residence.
The best time to move must take England’s unpredictable weather into account. Late spring (May to June) or early autumn (September to October) are considered the most favorable months to make the transition. These months typically offer milder weather and are outside of the peak tourist season, making it easier to find accommodations and adjust to the local environment, so a smoother transition into life in England. Just be aware that London, in particular, can still experience chilly, rainy days even in summer, so be prepared for some weather-related challenges no matter when you arrive.
Remember that England is 4 to 8 hours ahead of Canada, so be mindful of the time difference when scheduling calls or appointments. It’s also a good idea to adjust your sleep schedule gradually before you leave to reduce jet lag. After a likely long flight, your move-in day could be a little overwhelming. What to expect depends on move preparation. England, has specific regulations on importing goods. Your paperwork being in order depends on correct declaration of all you’re bringing with you. Some things require additional documentation … for example, food items and alcohol. Bekins clients typically choose to have help with customs clearance and final delivery. Once customs clearance and their storage charges become known, delivery arrangements, including street permits, securing the right accessibility equipment, etc. are set. Your desired move in time and date is secured so that they work in harmony with your preparations for electricity, gas, water, and broadband.
Expect a few cultural quirks. “Brits,” or more more specifically “English” or “Britons” are used to homes that tend to be smaller. They also expect things, such as separate hot and cold taps, electrical outlet types or wall-mounted electric heaters. While people are generally friendly, you might notice a more reserved style of interaction… don’t take it personally!
Moving to England from Canada is a significant change, but with the right preparation, it can be an enriching experience. So, pack your bags, plan your move around the best times of year, and prepare yourself for an exciting adventure in one of the world’s most iconic destinations.
