FindStorageFast Customer Reviews

What some of our happy storage customers say about us

Fast, Polite, Efficient

★★★★★

I've rented storage units before and mostly it's a simple straight forward goal...but often turns into an unpleasant event. This time was different...I didn't have to prove why I needed storage, have to pay a bunch of fees, buy special locks, insurance. Just fill out a short form, pay my money and start unloading.I'm not pressured to remedy my over abundance of belongings, as it's very reasonable..

Found fast and close

★★★★★

Very easy to use. Only had to enter zip code to find all the companies close to my target location. A few clicks later I had a reservation. The business I made the reservation with contacted me the next day to confirm and they honored the online discount and extended it for another month. I will use this app again for my storage needs!.

Storage Units in London Boroughs

Location determines everything in London. A facility 3 miles away can mean 45 minutes stuck on the North Circular. Choose storage based on how often you'll actually visit—not just the monthly rate.

Central London (Zones 1-2)

Bloomsbury, Kennington, Kings Cross, Camden, Chelsea—These are premium locations with premium prices. Shurgard at 3-16 Woburn Place in Bloomsbury and Big Yellow at 200 York Way in Kings Cross charge £350-450/month for 10×10 units, but you're steps from the tube and can access storage without a car.

These facilities are worth it if you're car-free and need frequent access. Students at UCL, King's College, or LSE rent here between terms rather than schlepping across London. Business owners in Soho and Shoreditch store inventory they access frequently.

Average 10×10: £350-450/month | Best for: Frequent access, no car, central work/home

North London

Finchley, Tottenham, Neasden, Hornsey offer better value then other boroughs without sacrificing access. Big Yellow on High Road in Finchley and Shurgard at 45-47 Garman Road in Tottenham charge £280-350/month for 10×10s. Good access via North Circular and A1 without central London premiums.

It's easier to pull up with a van in Tottenham than navigate Camden traffic. Homeowners in Muswell Hill and Hampstead downsizing from houses to flats store furniture here while deciding what to keep.

Average 10×10: £280-350/month | Best for: North London residents, families, house moves

South London

Facilities in Balham, Wandsworth, Streatham, Norbury provide competitive pricing with excellent transport. Big Yellow at 7 Weir Road in Balham and Access Self Storage in Wandsworth run £260-320/month for 10×10 units. South Londoners avoid crossing the Thames—storage south of the river makes sense if you live south of the river.

Families in Clapham and Brixton rent during renovations. Small businesses in Peckham and Camberwell avoid expensive commercial rent by storing stock in self-storage.

Average 10×10: £260-320/month | Best for: South London residents, avoid river crossings, good value

East London

Bow, Stratford, Charlton, Barking offer London's cheapest storage prices. Big Yellow at 400 Wick Lane in Bow and Shurgard at 6 St Andrews Way charge £240-300/month for 10×10 units. Rapidly improving transport with Elizabeth Line and DLR makes East London increasingly attractive for storage.

East London's creative community—artists, designers, small businesses in Hackney and Shoreditch—stores materials and equipment here. The savings justify the slightly longer journey from other parts of London.

Average 10×10: £240-300/month | Best for: Budget-conscious, East London base, longest-term storage

West London

Acton, Chiswick, and Richmond balance quality and price. Big Yellow on Great West Road in Chiswick and Shurgard at 210 Power Road charge £300-380/month for 10×10s. These facilities are popular with West London professionals and families who want nearby storage without central premiums.

Professionals commuting via M4 find facilities convenient on their route. Residents downsizing from West London houses to flats use storage while selling furniture gradually rather than rushing clearances.

Average 10×10: £300-380/month | Best for: West London residents, quality facilities, family-friendly

Outer London (Zones 4-6)

Alperton, Mitcham, Eltham, Wembley sit in outer zones where land is cheaper and facilities pass savings to customers. Access Self Storage in Mitcham and Big Yellow in Eltham charge £220-280/month for 10×10 units—serious savings if location works for you.

Long-term storage users prioritize annual cost over convenience. Overseas postings lasting 1-3 years benefit from outer zone pricing. Business owners storing archive documents or seasonal inventory visit quarterly at most. The £80-100 monthly savings adds up fast.


Average 10×10: £220-280/month | Best for: Long-term storage, overseas postings, infrequent access

What Affects London Self Storage Prices?


Self-Access vs Full-Service Storage

Self-access facilities let you visit anytime (or during access hours) with your own key or code. You load/unload yourself. Full-service providers (Stored, EasyStorage) collect items from your home, store them in their warehouse, and return them when needed. This service comes at a premium, but convenient if you're car-free or storing just a few items.

Self-access: £260-450/month depending on location and size. Full-service: From £89/month but typically £150-250 for comparable storage volume.

Access Hours

London facilities typically offer business hours (8am-6pm), extended hours (6am-10pm), or 24/7 access. True 24/hr access costs more monthly. Before paying that premium, honestly evaluate whether you'll visit between 10pm and 6am more than once or twice annually. 7 London facilities offer 24/7 access.

Who genuinely needs 24/7 access: NHS workers on night shifts at hospitals across London. Transport workers running overnight delivery routes. Small business owners packing e-commerce orders after day jobs end. International professionals arriving on odd-hour flights from overseas. Shift workers at Heathrow, financial sector operations, or 24-hour facilities. If you work standard office hours Monday-Friday and only visit storage on weekends, 6am-10pm access covers you completely and saves £180-360 annually.

Container vs Indoor Storage

London offers two storage types with different economics. Indoor facilities (Big Yellow, Shurgard, Access Self Storage) provide traditional units inside secure buildings—better for furniture, electronics, documents. Container storage (Bloc, independent operators) uses shipping containers in secure yards—cheaper but more temperature exposure.

Indoor units average £325/month for 10×10 spaces. Container storage runs £140-200/month for equivalent space. The trade-off: containers experience London's full weather—humidity in summer, cold in winter, condensation year-round. Fine for boxes, tools, garden furniture, sports equipment. Not fine for anything affected by moisture or temperature swings.

Storage for London Students

London universities create massive storage demand from May through August. Students rent small units (10-25 sq ft) for belongings during summer break, study abroad terms, or gaps before permanent flats. Many operators offer student discounts and flexible terms matching academic calendars.

Major universities served: UCL, King's College, Imperial, LSE, Queen Mary, City University, Royal Holloway, plus dozens across Greater London. Small units run £20-89/month—manageable on student budgets. Popular areas: Bloomsbury (UCL), Aldwych/Strand (King's, LSE), South Kensington (Imperial), Mile End (Queen Mary).

Book early before summer break—May and June see highest demand and facilities fill fast. Many offer free van hire for moving in and out. Some provide group storage deals for students sharing costs.

Vehicle Storage in London

London parking costs £200-400/month for a single space in central areas. Vehicle storage offers cheaper alternatives for cars you don't use daily, classic cars requiring security, or caravans and boats.

Why Londoners store vehicles: Residents in Zone 1-2 flats have no parking. Classic car owners won't risk street parking in London. Motorcycle riders store bikes through winter rather than leave them exposed to salt and weather. Caravan owners avoid council attention by storing off-property. Boat owners near Thames store inland during winter, saving expensive marina fees.

Storage options and pricing: Outdoor vehicle storage runs £100-180/month for secure parking—basic security, full weather exposure. Covered storage costs £180-280/month, protecting from weather without climate control—recommended for motorcycles and campervans. Indoor climate-controlled runs £300+/month for classic cars needing full protection. Only worth it for genuine collectors' vehicles worth £20,000+.

What people store: Caravans (secure compounds in Mitcham, Alperton, Wembley from £120/month), boats (facilities near Thames, Essex coast, Surrey from £150/month), motorcycles, classic cars, vehicles during overseas postings. Some standard 10×20 units accommodate vehicles if you measure carefully—might cost less than "dedicated vehicle storage" at the same facility.

Seasonal Pricing in London

London storage follows predictable demand cycles that affect both pricing and availability.

Peak season (April-September): House moves peak during summer. Students need storage. Facilities charge 20-30% premiums and availability drops. "50% off" promotions disappear. If you're moving in July, book 3-4 weeks early or pay premium rates for whatever's left.

Off-peak (October-March): Fewer moves, nervous facility managers, aggressive promotions. "First month £1" offers appear everywhere. Same facility charging £350 in July might offer £280 with first month free in February. Real savings if your timing allows flexibility.

Smart timing strategy: If moving house with completion in peak season, consider booking storage 2-3 months early during off-peak pricing. The off-peak discount often exceeds the cost of extra empty months. You're paying for March-April-May storage but booking at February rates—you come out ahead.

Storage Operators in London

Big Yellow Self Storage: London's largest operator with 110+ facilities across all zones. Reliable, professional, good security. Premium pricing (£300-450/month for 10×10) but worth it for peace of mind. Regular "50% off first 8 weeks" promotions.

Shurgard Self Storage: International operator with extensive London coverage. Competitive pricing (£280-380/month), excellent facilities, strong security. Known for "£1 first month" promotions and flexible terms.

Access Self Storage: Growing operator with good South and West London coverage. Mid-range pricing (£260-350/month), decent facilities. Less central locations mean better value.

Attic Self Storage: Premium operator in select locations. Higher prices but excellent facilities and customer service. Popular with business users.

Independent Operators: Smaller operators often offer better pricing (£240-300/month) but vary in quality. Worth investigating for long-term storage if security standards meet your needs.
