Title: Storage companies in London?
Post by: Your Tera on 23 September 2011, 10:10:52 pm: Hi all, I'm about to take a long walk off a short pier. I'm about to bugger off home for three weeks and my estate agent has just decided to try to force me out. He wins. I will be stateside when the actual end of my tenancy occurs, so I am wondering if anyone can recommend a public storage facility in London? No furniture, just boxes and suitcases...

Thanks in advance.

A colleague of mine mentioned a few weeks ago that for about three months she used skip storage (?) but I'm unsure of the deets. Next time I see her I'll ask because apparently it was veeeery cheap compared to most places in London.

I use Safestore - and if you flutter your eyelashes at the man behind the counter he will give you those nice storage boxes free to pack all your stuff in. (They might do that for everyone and I'm just kidding myself its my personal charm that lets me get away with it!)

Big Yellow Self Storage is a total rip off *snips*

But if they price match, there's no rip off...
