So you're thinking of ditching the barbie for some scones, hey?
Let's face it, Melbourne is a fantastic city. Great coffee, amazing food scene, and don't even get me started on the AFL (though that might be a good reason for some to escape ;) ). But sometimes, you just need a change. Maybe it's the lure of a proper British pub, a stroll through Buckingham Palace gardens, or the chance to finally understand what all those Fawlty Towers jokes are about.
Whatever your reason, you're probably wondering one crucial thing: How far exactly is Melbourne to the UK?
Hold onto your vegemite, because we're about to embark on a geographical adventure!

| How Far Ahead Is Melbourne To Uk |
Miles, Mates, and Meridian Mayhem
Okay, okay, ditching the miles for kilometres here (we're going international, after all!), Melbourne to the UK is a whopping 16,877 kilometres (or 10,500 miles). That's further than a boomerang toss, that's for sure.
Tip: Reread tricky sentences for clarity.
Think about it this way: you could fit about four Melbournes across that distance, with room left over for a couple of extra trams (don't worry, we Brits are learning to love them).
Timey-Wimey Down Under
And let's not forget the time difference! Melbourne is a cool 9 hours ahead of London during the summer months. So, if you're planning a video call with your mates back home, be prepared for some bleary-eyed conversations (unless you're super keen on catching them at sunrise).
