When should I book summer storage in London?▾
Book as soon as you know your move-out date — ideally one to two weeks before you need collection. June and July are the busiest weeks for student move-out in London, so collection slots fill up fastest then. Booking early locks in the date and time slot you want; you can always adjust the number of boxes later.
When should I arrange collection?▾
Schedule collection for around the time you finish exams or your tenancy ends — typically the day you move out of halls or your private accommodation. UniLug collects from your room for free, from any floor, so you can hand everything over on your last day rather than transporting it yourself.
When will my belongings be delivered back before term starts?▾
You choose your return delivery date when you're ready, so you can have everything brought back to your new London address in the days before the new term begins. Book the return a little ahead of move-in week, as that period is busy too. Return delivery is £7.99 per box to any London address.
How much does summer storage in London cost?▾
Summer storage is £7.25 per box for three months — the most popular plan for the break. Return delivery is £7.99 per box to any London address and insurance up to £110 per box is included. Boxes, if you need them, are £3.95 (Medium) and £5.95 (Large). There are no admin fees and no minimum spend. See the
full price breakdown or the
cheapest-storage guide.
Can I store over summer if I'm leaving halls?▾
Yes — this is the most common use case. If your hall contract ends for the summer, UniLug collects your boxes and suitcases on move-out day and stores them until you're back, then delivers to your new address. You don't need to take everything home or find a unit yourself.
Can I use summer storage if I'm in private student accommodation?▾
Yes. Whether you're in university halls or a private student building anywhere in London, UniLug collects from your room and delivers back when you need it. Collection from upper floors is included at no extra cost.
What if I need something back during the summer?▾
You're not locked in until September. You can book a return delivery whenever you need your items back to any London address for £7.99 per box, so if your plans change mid-summer you can get your belongings sooner.
Can international students store over summer and get everything back in September?▾
Yes. Many international students store with UniLug while they go home over the summer rather than carrying everything back or paying for shipping. We collect before you fly out and deliver to your London address when you return for the new term. More for
international students.
