About student storage in Marchmont, Edinburgh

Marchmont sits south of the Meadows and is the largest concentration of University of Edinburgh student housing outside the halls system, with most students in Victorian and Edwardian tenement flats on streets like Warrender Park Road, Marchmont Crescent, Spottiswoode Road, and Strathearn Road. The University of Edinburgh central campus and Old College are a 10–15 minute walk via the Meadows. Bus routes 5, 41 and 23 serve the area heavily.

Marchmont’s tenement flats are mostly upper-floor (no lift), so UniMove collections here often need extra crew time to bring items down through the stairwell. The area sits inside Edinburgh’s Low Emission Zone (LEZ) introduced in 2024; we use LEZ-compliant vehicles for Edinburgh collections so no extra charge passes through. Residents’-permit parking applies during weekday daytime hours. Typical Marchmont tenement residents store six to nine boxes; the lack of a lift means we discourage bulky furniture for storage runs.

What students usually store

  • Suitcases and boxes
  • Clothes and bedding
  • Kitchen items
  • Books and study equipment
  • Small furniture
  • Sports equipment

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.
