Groningen is the capital of the far north. It's the largest city in northern Netherlands, roughly 200 kilometres from Amsterdam. It is a major university city. The University of Groningen (RUG) is one of the oldest in the Netherlands, founded in 1614. Hanze University of Applied Sciences is also based here. Both attract UK staff and students. The energy sector. Particularly offshore gas and the Dutch State Supervision of Mines (SodM), also drives international relocations to the city.
The DFDS Newcastle to IJmuiden overnight ferry is the most direct sea route for northern UK collection points. IJmuiden to Groningen is about two hours by road.

Groningen is about five to six hours from the Channel.

The historic core around the Grote Markt and Vismarkt is compact. It has some older buildings. The main residential areas have standard access for removal vehicles.

Unlike Amsterdam or Leiden, Groningen does not have a stock of 17th-century canal houses requiring an external verhuislift.
