Odivelas is a municipality immediately north of Lisbon, carved out of the northern part of the Loures municipality in 1998. It is a compact, densely urban area connected to Lisbon by the Odivelas Metro line and the IC22. It offers lower property prices than Lisbon city while remaining within the metro area boundary. London to Odivelas is about 1,590 miles by road via the Channel Tunnel.
A dedicated vehicle from London to Odivelas takes 3 to 4 days. Part load removals take 10 to 21 days. Odivelas is on the Lisbon consolidated run, positioned just north of Lisbon on the IC22. The A9 CREL ring road passes to the west of the municipality, giving lorries a bypass route that avoids Lisbon city traffic.
Odivelas is a densely built urban municipality with mainly apartment blocks. The IC22 and the A9 CREL give clean approaches. Most streets in Odivelas are urban residential roads with standard widths for a removal lorry. The main access challenge is kerbside lorry parking in the denser residential zones, particularly in Pontinha, Ramada and Caneças. An early morning delivery slot before peak commuter traffic is recommended for addresses near the IC22 urban corridor.
International Removals Companies is a free enquiry matching service operated by DATACONTEXT (UK) LTD (company 07425576). It does not carry out removals. It connects each Odivelas enquiry with one suitable vetted FIDI-certified partner mover. The partner mover contacts you directly and provides the quote.

Odivelas town centre and the main residential zones are accessible by lorry via the IC22 and A9 CREL. Modern apartment developments throughout the municipality have standard road access. Pontinha, Odivelas town and Póvoa de Santo Adrião are all on good urban roads. The Metro line serves the area, which means the streets in the most densely populated zones can have heavier pedestrian and vehicle traffic during commuter hours. An early morning delivery before 08:00 is recommended for the densest urban zones.
The northern parishes of Odivelas including Ramada and Caneças are slightly less dense and have more suburban character. These are generally easier for lorry parking than the immediate IC22 corridor. Caneças sits on the edge of the Lisbon urban area and has some rural-character roads leading into the Loures hills. For any address in the municipality with restricted kerbside parking, the partner mover confirms a delivery window and parking management before booking.
