About student storage at Imperial halls, London

Imperial College London houses around 3,500 first-year undergraduates and 2,500 postgraduates across its hall network. The largest cluster sits in South Kensington adjacent to the main campus — Beit Hall (above the Students’ Union on Prince Consort Road), Eastside and Southside Halls (Princes Gardens), Wilkinson, Falmouth, Keogh, and Selkirk. A second cluster sits two miles west in Hammersmith and Notting Hill (Wilson House, Pembridge Hall, Xenia). End-of-term vacate dates fall in late June.

Imperial’s South Kensington halls are inside the ULEZ and most are inside the Congestion Charge zone; UniMove uses ULEZ-compliant vehicles so neither charge passes through. Beit Hall loads from Prince Consort Road via the SU side entrance (the road itself has limited stopping), and the Princes Gardens halls (Eastside, Southside, Falmouth, Keogh) use the gardens-side service road which is the easiest hall access in central London. Wilson House and Pembridge Hall in west London load kerbside on their own streets. Typical Imperial hall residents store five to seven boxes; the science-heavy academic load means more book and equipment storage than average.

What students usually store

Why students choose collection and storage instead of self-storage

Traditional self-storage often means hiring a van, carrying everything yourself, and paying for more space than you need. UniMove’s student-focused collection and storage service is simpler — especially if you are leaving halls, sharing transport with housemates, or heading home for summer.

Frequently asked questions about student storage at Imperial halls

How much does Imperial hall student storage cost?

Pricing depends on how many boxes you store and how long you need storage for. The quote covers door-to-door collection from your Imperial hall room, secure storage, and return delivery. Most Imperial hall residents store between five and seven boxes — including books and lab notes is common given the science focus. Get an Imperial halls quote for an exact figure.

Do you collect from Beit Hall and the Princes Gardens halls?

Yes — we collect from all Imperial halls including Beit Hall on Prince Consort Road, the Princes Gardens cluster (Eastside, Southside, Falmouth, Keogh, Selkirk), Wilkinson, plus Wilson House and Pembridge Hall in west London. Beit Hall loads via the SU side entrance; Princes Gardens has a dedicated service road which is the easiest central London hall access we work with.

Do you handle bulky science kit (lab books, dissertation drafts, equipment)?

Yes — Imperial collections often include heavy book and equipment loads. We use appropriately strong boxes for book volumes and clearly label scientific kit. If you have a complete dissertation set-up or unusual equipment, mention it on booking so we can quote the right box count and crew.

When can my items be returned in London?

Return delivery is arranged for whenever you need your belongings back — typically the start of the next academic year, the day a new tenancy starts, or whenever you return to London from travel or home.
