Door-to-door student storage for LSE halls — how it works

About student storage at LSE halls, London

LSE houses around 4,000 students across a hall network spread across central London. Bankside House on Sumner Street (near the Tate Modern) is the largest, with around 600 students; Passfield Hall sits in Bloomsbury, Carr-Saunders in Fitzrovia, Rosebery in Clerkenwell, Sidney Webb in Borough, Lilian Knowles in Spitalfields, and Northumberland House near Trafalgar Square. There’s also Grosvenor House in Covent Garden and High Holborn close to the LSE campus on Aldwych. End-of-term vacate dates fall in mid June.

All LSE halls are inside the ULEZ and most are inside the Congestion Charge zone; UniMove uses ULEZ-compliant vehicles for every LSE collection so neither charge passes through. Loading varies by hall: Bankside has a dedicated service bay on Sumner Street, Passfield uses an arranged loading slot on Endsleigh Place, Rosebery loads from Rosebery Avenue kerbside under permit. We book each hall’s slot with reception so the arrival is matched to your room timing. Typical LSE hall residents store four to six boxes — LSE’s central London room sizes are modest, and the academic load (economics/politics) tends toward books rather than equipment.

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 LSE halls

How much does LSE 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 LSE hall room, secure storage, and return delivery. Most LSE hall residents store between four and six boxes. Get an LSE halls quote for an exact figure.

Do you collect from Bankside, Passfield, Carr-Saunders, and the other LSE halls?

Yes — we collect from all LSE halls, including the larger ones (Bankside House, Passfield Hall, Carr-Saunders, Rosebery, Sidney Webb, Lilian Knowles, Northumberland House) and the smaller central halls. Each hall has its own loading bay or kerbside permit which we pre-book with reception in advance.

Are LSE international students well-served by this service for summer travel?

Yes — a large share of LSE hall residents are international postgraduates who fly home after the summer term. Door-to-door storage suits this well because you don’t need to coordinate a van rental or carry items yourself before flying out. We collect on a date that works with your flight, store everything secure, and return it when you’re back in London.

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.
