About the Warsaw to London shipping route by road
Warsaw to London by road: 1,639 km of driving distance, west from Poland to the United Kingdom. The straight line is 1,449 km.
Transit time for one driver is about 42 h, of which 20 h 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 Warsaw to London 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 Poland into the United Kingdom, so the truck travels on a CMR consignment note, plus export and import declarations at the border.
By rail the same trip is 1,726 km and takes about 2.4 days at freight train speed.
Of 32 road routes from Warsaw in this directory, London is the 22nd shortest. Closer destinations: Milan (1,615 km), Paris (1,600 km) and Zurich (1,340 km).
