Both collect your boxes and deliver them back. LOVESPACE is a nationwide service; UniLug works only with London students — our own driver collects, and when you message us you reach the people actually handling your boxes. We also charge one flat price per box whatever the size. Here's an honest, up-to-date comparison.
UniLug and LOVESPACE both collect, store and return your boxes. UniLug is a London specialist that charges one flat price per box whatever the size (£7.25/box/month for summer), with free collection from any floor and insurance up to £110 per box included. LOVESPACE is a nationwide service that prices by box size. For a London student storing a few boxes or a suitcase, UniLug's flat per-box pricing and larger boxes are often better value; for a single small box or storage outside London, compare both before booking. LOVESPACE advertises from £3.25 per box per month with a 40% discount for stays of 3 months or longer, and does not publish a full rate card (checked August 2026). Whichever you choose, it's worth knowing who you'll be dealing with: with UniLug you reach the same small London team from booking through to return, on WhatsApp or the phone. Storage extensions are charged in weekly increments under a month, or at the longer-term rate from a month, and we confirm the price with you before taking payment. An optional Room Packing Service is available in London at £169 for up to two hours or up to 10 boxes, whichever comes first — boxes, storage and return delivery are charged separately.
"Best experience I’ve had as a student moving over the summer — would definitely contact again."
"Very friendly team and clear communication throughout. Would highly recommend Unilug to anyone."
"The whole team is very accommodating and honest about their services and prices."
A fair, like-for-like comparison for London students. LOVESPACE's advertised from-price and 3-month discount were checked on lovespace.co.uk in August 2026. Their per-size box rates and dimensions are not published publicly and were last quoted in June 2026. Always get their current quote before you book.

Storage figures are for a single item over 3 months. Return delivery is charged separately by both services — UniLug's is £7.99/box to any London address.
Four things that follow from being a London-focused team rather than a national network.
We won't pretend UniLug is right for everyone. LOVESPACE is a solid, established service — and the better choice when:
