About the London to Lisbon shipping route by road
London to Lisbon by road: 2,110 km of driving distance, south west from the United Kingdom to Portugal. The straight line is 1,585 km.
Transit time for one driver is about 2.8 days, of which 33 h 6 min at the wheel. We assume 9 driving hours a day and an 11 hour rest between shifts, as EU drivers' hours rules require. A two driver team can keep the truck moving and cut the trucking transit time almost in half. The route includes a ferry crossing: book the slot early, and add waiting time at the port.
Road freight on London to Lisbon is booked as FTL (a full truck for one shipper) or LTL and groupage (you pay for the pallet places you use). FTL is faster and safer for high value goods; groupage is cheaper for a few pallets but adds consolidation time. The trip crosses from the United Kingdom into Portugal, so the truck travels on a CMR consignment note, plus export and import declarations at the border.
By rail the same trip is 2,288 km and takes about 3.2 days at freight train speed.
Of 31 road routes from London in this directory, Lisbon is the 27th shortest. Closer destinations: Stockholm (2,072 km), Lviv (1,995 km) and Rome (1,922 km).
