  • Is it possible to fit large pieces of furniture inside?

    Yes, it is very unlikely that an item of furniture will not fit.

  • Do I need to come to the storage premises if I’ve booked a removal and storage combined?

    Yes, there are a few exceptions, please refer to our terms and conditions

  • When I want to remove my belongings from storage permanently do I need to give you advance notice?

  • Are my items insured?

    Yes. Each container has insurance for a total value of £2000. You can also purchase extra insurance if your items are worth more.

  • Do I need a padlock?

    No. Each container has is own self-locking system.

Self-Storage North London

Self-Storage North London, Secure Containers Collected from Any N or NW Postcode

North London has more branded walk-in storage facilities than any other part of the capital. Safestore alone operates branches at Alexandra Palace, Holloway Road, Bounds Green, Mayes Road in Wood Green, Staples Corner, and Camden. Access Self Storage runs depots at Hornsey, Edmonton, and Neasden.

Big Yellow has sites at Staples Corner and Finchley. Metro Storage, N1 Tiny Storage, and Urban Locker fill the gaps across Islington and Shoreditch. Despite that density of supply, every one of those facilities operates the same model, you hire a van, load it yourself on a residential street where parking is controlled by CPZ restrictions, drive through some of the most congested roads in London, unload into a corridor unit, and repeat the process whenever you need anything back.

Welcome to North London Storage: a top-rated storage company.

Our North London storage works the other way round. We bring the storage to your N or NW address: our crew loads a container on the spot and we transport it, sealed, to storage. You can have the same container delivered to any address whenever you like.

We are an AIM-accredited removal and storage company that has been working in London for more than fifteen years. Your goods are insured on the road and in storage under full Goods in Transit and warehouse-keeper cover, at a site with CCTV, alarms and fencing.

We store every container behind fencing and controlled gates, with alarms and 24-hour CCTV. Rather than chasing introductory discounts, check whether a provider's credentials stand up.

Details of our company and standards are on the About Us page.

North London Container Prices

Each 280 cu ft container is 155 cm across, 215 cm deep and 245 cm tall. The weekly cost is £19.99 for each container, from one up to six (£119.94).

Collection from your N or NW address, crew labour, protective wrapping, dismantling, transport and redelivery all come as standard. There is no promotional period, no access charge per visit and no weekend surcharge.

Customers searching for cheap self-storage or affordable self-storage across the N postcodes will find that the total cost undercuts corridor-access depots once you add the van hire, fuel, congestion charge where applicable, and the loading labour those facilities assume you will arrange yourself.

Judge storage on the whole cost of getting belongings in, not just the unit rate.

Storage rental rolls monthly, with no fixed-term agreement. Leaving is simple and there are no fees for ending early: give at least 10 working days' notice, and storage is charged until the notice period ends.

Weeks or years, the same flexible terms apply.

Containers by Property Size

One container takes a studio or a large bedroom, typical of the flats along Holloway Road and the newer blocks around Finsbury Park and Tottenham Hale.

Two containers will normally take a one-bedroom property. Three cover a standard two- or three-bedroom home, the dominant layout in the Edwardian terraces across Holloway, Palmers Green, and Wood Green.

Four to six containers absorb the larger detached and semi-detached houses found across Muswell Hill, Highgate, and the family homes along the Mill Hill ridgeline.

Book only the containers your belongings will fill, from one to six. Our calculator gives a container count from your rooms, or call 0208 0900 232 to talk it through.

Storage During a North London House Move

North London’s property market ranges from the seven-figure Georgian townhouses of Canonbury and Hampstead to the first-time-buyer flats around Edmonton and Bounds Green, with everything from inter-war semis in Hendon to Victorian terraces in Highbury filling the spectrum between.

Chains across this market can stretch five or six properties deep, linking a studio sale in N1 to a family home purchase in N20, and when any single transaction stalls, a mortgage offer expires, a survey reveals structural movement, a freeholder delays consent, completions slip by weeks across the entire sequence. Storage fills the gap, so no temporary let and no borrowed spare room.

Through our North London removals service, your furniture goes into containers on moving day and on to your new home once it is ready. The move and storage are combined into one booking with no handover to another provider.

Smaller jobs follow the same model. A single room clearing ahead of a basement conversion in a listed Islington terrace, furniture removed during a loft extension on a 1930s semi in Finchley, or belongings from a rented flat being vacated with nowhere to go until the next tenancy starts in Dalston.

In one trip our North London man and van collects your things and delivers them to the facility.

A lot of our bookings are for storage between houses, handled start to finish by one team. Storage for your move becomes one phone call, handled by the same team.

Who Uses Self-Storage in North London?

Storage facilities near North London serve a region that spans everything from the dense inner-city terraces of Hackney and Hoxton, where no property has a garage and hallway space is measured in inches, to the suburban semis of Edgware and Enfield where converted garages have reduced built-in storage to near zero. Homeowners use furniture storage during kitchen-diner knock-throughs, rear extensions, loft conversions, and the basement excavations that dominate renovation schedules in the inner boroughs. Landlords managing multi-let conversions rotate furnishings between tenancies.

Student storage London picks up each summer from students at City University, University of the Arts, London Metropolitan, and Middlesex University, all campuses drawing renters into North London postcodes who need somewhere to hold belongings during vacation breaks.

Business storage units serve the independent retailers, galleries, and restaurants along Upper Street, Stroud Green Road, Muswell Hill Broadway, and the High Roads from Haggerston to Clerkenwell, as well as the architectural practices, media agencies, and tech firms that occupy converted premises across the creative corridor from King’s Cross to Shoreditch.

Document storage and archive storage suit the solicitor offices, medical practices, and financial advisers in period premises across every N postcode, buildings with limited floor space and years of regulatory records to retain.

Seasonal storage works for any North London household where garden furniture, bicycles, children’s outdoor equipment, and barbecue sets compete for the same narrow shed, hallway, or under-stairs cupboard.

On permit-controlled N streets, a second car or classic vehicle can go into vehicle storage rather than sit outside all year.

Bike storage units serve cycling commuters heading into the City, the West End, or along the canal towpaths who lack covered parking in a shared hallway or front garden.

Garage storage units appeal to trades professionals working the North London renovation market, electricians, plumbers, carpenters, and decorators, who need a secure place for tools and materials without commercial rent on the A1, A10, or North Circular corridor.

Your goods sit in a clean, dry, ventilated container insured to £2,000, and higher cover can be arranged.

Packing for Storage

The longer the storage, the more preparation matters. Mattresses go into sealed covers, glass and ceramics are wrapped singly, and dust sheets go over upholstery.

Supplies from our Packing Shop can be delivered to your N or NW address, or the North London packing service can pack for you before collection day.

Our blog walks you through packing a container and lists what can be stored. Packing well is what keeps belongings safe, whatever the price.

Storage tips

Storing it the right way

What you can’t store

Nothing perishable, such as food or plants. Nothing flammable or hazardous, such as paint, aerosols, gas canisters, petrol, fireworks or chemicals. Nothing illegal and nothing alive. Rugs, soft furnishings and mattresses should be clean and completely dry.

Storage rules explained

Is it worth storing?

Ask two questions: would you buy it again today at full price, and would storing it for as long as you expect cost more than replacing it later? Irreplaceable items, and records you must legally keep, sit outside that test.

Is storage worth it?

Set a review date

Put a review date in the calendar on day one: six weeks of storage during a chain can quietly become three years. At each review, bring it home, dispose of it, or decide to keep storing it for a stated reason.
