Self Storage in London
Finding self-storage in London and planning your move has never been easier.
When you cannot immediately move into your new home or apartment, you will need to find a self-storage facility in which to place your items. If your new home or apartment is smaller (or has suddenly become smaller) than your old one, you may also need to store a few seldom-used items. Selecting a self-storage facility is an important decision.

London information
London is possibly the most photographed and instantly recognisable places in the world. An organic city it bustles like no other, the centre made up of several remarkably diverse areas each with a distinctive character and all imbuing an unquestionably British atmosphere. First time visitors may well be surprised at how unglamorous and down right grubby much of the city actually is but once you’re over this (and just the sight of a couple of the breathtaking landmarks is enough to ensure you do) the seediness actually becomes part and parcel of its appeal. What strikes you is, despite its sprawl and haphazard, often ugly buildings, it still manages to capture the imagination. Everywhere you look there are little (or quite often huge) reminders of the City’s phenomenal history from Dickens to the Swinging Sixties, the Blitz to Punk Rock you’ll find it all!
High on the agenda for any visitors to the British Capital is a look at the Royal Home itself, Buckingham Palace. First opened to the public in 1993 a peep inside one of the world’s most revered of abodes has proven an irrisistable prospect to millions. From the abundance of gold leaf throughout to the awesome Grand Staircase you are left in no doubt as to importance of the building’s residents. For many the highlight is the Throne Room, which simply oozes historic ambience, or the magnificent gallery with its fine collection of masterpieces and royal portraits. Of course, when visiting Buckingham Palace it would be a shame to miss out on London’s most famous spectacle, The Changing of the Guard, an event where the colour of the ceremony is equally matched by the enthusiasm of the huge crowd in attendance.
For the art lover, London is a dream come true. The dozens of galleries include some of the finest art collections in the world. The 11acre Victoria and Albert has the worlds largest collection of decorative arts in 146 galleries, including ceramics, sculptures, furniture, jewellery, metalwork, textiles and dress from around the world. The National Gallery has a collection of 2,300 paintings (including many well known masterpieces) and covers every European school of painting from the mid thirteenth century to 1900. The National Portrait Gallery houses the most comprehensive collection of its kind. Founded in 1856 to collect likenesses of famous men and women it now holds a primary collection of around 10,000 works and in immense archive. Exhibits include oils, watercolours, drawings, caricatures and photographs along with several other mediums.
London is a shopper’s idea of heaven. You can buy virtually anything you desire. You’ll find branches of all the big department and chain stores along Oxford Street whilst the slightly more select choice on Regent St includes many of the City’s most famous stores – Hamley’s toyshop, Austin Reed, Burberry and Liberty. Bond street is where to go if you’re looking for fine antiques or exclusive jewellery and a visit to the capital by a shopping addict just wouldn’t be complete without a visit to Harrods, if only to acquire one of those famous green bags. But for a truly exciting and fascinating shopping experience you simple have to head for Camden Lock, which attracts a staggering 150,000 people every week. It’s not really surprising. With 250 stalls and 100 shops and workshops. With items for sale including arts and crafts, designer and vintage clothing, books, memorabilia, rare records and bizarre collectables it really is flea market overload.
