About student storage in Leith, Edinburgh
Leith sits about a mile and a half north of central Edinburgh, with student housing concentrated around the Walk (Leith Walk), Easter Road, and the streets behind the Shore. The area has grown as a student rental option as the Edinburgh tram line (extended to Newhaven in 2023) gave better central-campus access. Most student lets are in tenement flats on streets like Iona Street, Albert Street, and Pilrig Street. Both the University of Edinburgh and Edinburgh Napier (whose Merchiston campus is across the city) draw residents.
Leith sits inside Edinburgh’s LEZ, and most streets have residents’-permit parking during daytime hours. UniMove collections in Leith typically schedule before 10am or after 4pm to work around the permit window. The 2023 tram extension brought more central kerbside restrictions along Leith Walk itself, so we use side streets for loading. Typical Leith tenement residents store six to nine boxes for summer.

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 in Leith, Edinburgh
How much does student storage in Leith, Edinburgh cost?
Pricing depends on how many boxes you store, your Leith collection address, and how long you need storage for. The quote covers door-to-door collection, secure storage, and return delivery. Most students in Leith, Edinburgh store between four and ten standard boxes over the summer. Get a Leith quote for an exact figure.
Does the new tram line through Leith Walk affect collection access?
It does — the extended tram line introduced new kerbside restrictions along Leith Walk itself, so we route Leith collections via side streets (Iona Street, Albert Street, Pilrig Street, and so on) where parking and loading are unaffected. The tram has made Leith more central though, which is part of why student rentals here have grown.
Do you collect from student accommodation in Leith, Edinburgh?
Yes — we collect from university halls, private student halls, shared houses and private addresses in Leith, Edinburgh, with collection slots arranged around end-of-term move-out dates.
When can my items be returned to Leith?
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 Leith from travel or home.
