About student storage at Merton College, Oxford
Merton College sits on Merton Street, with the Mob Quad — Oxford’s oldest medieval quadrangle — at its centre. Founded in 1264, Merton houses around 300 undergraduates and 320 postgraduates, with end-of-Trinity-term vacate dates in late June. Accommodation spans the main Merton Street site, the Rose Lane Buildings, and the Holywell Buildings further north. The college backs onto Christ Church Meadow.
Merton Street is restricted to permit holders during the day, so UniMove collections at Merton load from the Logic Lane / Oriel Square area or High Street by prior arrangement with the porters. The Holywell Buildings have their own access route. Typical Merton students store five to seven boxes; postgraduates and finalists often store an extra box of academic materials.
What students usually store
- Suitcases and boxes
- Clothes and bedding

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.

How much does student storage at Merton College cost?

Are the Merton Holywell Buildings handled differently from the main site?
Yes — Merton’s Holywell Buildings sit several streets away from the main Merton Street site, so we treat them as a separate access point. Vehicle access is via Holywell Street kerbside, with porters at the Holywell sub-lodge arranging room-to-van transit. We book each side of the college separately on the booking form.
Do you collect from student accommodation at Merton College?
Yes — we collect from university halls, private student halls, shared houses and private addresses at Merton College, with collection slots arranged around end-of-term move-out dates.
When can my items be returned to Merton College?
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 Merton College from travel or home.
