Compare self storage across every London borough, from Zone 1 lock ups to large drive up units in the suburbs.
London is the busiest self storage market in the UK. Demand is driven by smaller homes, frequent moves and a high concentration of businesses needing flexible space. Prices vary sharply between central boroughs and the outer ring, so it pays to compare more than one site.
Use the city guides below to see typical weekly prices, opening hours and which facilities offer drive up access, climate control or 24 hour entry. Each guide also lists nearby towns so you can widen your search if the closest facility is full.

Three things make or break a self storage decision: location, unit size and real all-in price. The card on the right shows how London compares against the UK average, then use the city guides above to pin down your shortlist.
Most customers visit their unit at least once a month, so anything more than a 15-minute drive starts to feel like a chore. Open the city guide nearest to you to see live facility listings.
Box-only declutter? 25 sq ft. Studio flat? 50 sq ft. 2 to 3 bed home move? 100 to 150 sq ft. Our calculator does the maths in under a minute so you don't overpay for empty space.
Check whether insurance, VAT, padlocks and 24/7 access are included. Two facilities at the same advertised price can differ by 15 to 25% once extras are added.
What does storage cost in London?
London storage remains the most expensive in the UK, roughly 55% above the national average, driven by land values and demand from movers and small businesses. Prices nudged down 3.5% last year, the first dip in years, so it pays to compare more than one operator. Mature occupancy is 77%, meaning there is genuine availability rather than the historic squeeze.
Compare prices in Central LondonBased on operator revenue per sq ft (ex VAT) reported in the SSA UK Self Storage Annual Report 2026. Revenue per sq ft is an industry-wide operator metric, so quoted unit prices vary by facility, size and availability.
