East London, for us, is the boroughs of Tower Hamlets, Newham, Hackney and Waltham Forest. Every E postcode is inside our service area. These are the student areas within it.
UCL East and UAL's London College of Fashion are on the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, and the University of East London has its Stratford campus in E15. Hawthorne House opened here in 2026, and contracts in the area end anywhere from late June to mid-September.

Student storage in Canary Wharf, Poplar, Limehouse and the Isle of Dogs (E14), and in Canning Town and the Royal Docks (E16).
urbanest Canary Wharf opened at 6 Trafalgar Way, E14 5JA, in September 2026: three towers that UCL put at 1,672 beds. The building is for UCL students, on 51-week contracts that end on 18 September 2027, and UCL puts it a 13-minute walk from its School of Management at Canary Wharf.
We have already delivered a customer's belongings to urbanest Canary Wharf, so it is a building we know first-hand. UNILUG is an independent company: we are not affiliated with urbanest or UCL.
Further east, the University of East London's Docklands campus is on University Way, E16, beside Cyprus DLR station, and its Docklands Student Village houses more than 1,100 students on campus. Collection is also available from private halls such as ARK Canning Town and from shared flats across Poplar, Limehouse and the Isle of Dogs.
The four main East London campuses each have their own storage page, with the halls and move-out details for that university.
