About student storage in Newington, Edinburgh

Newington runs south of the Meadows along South Clerk Street, Causewayside, and Newington Road, and is the second major student-rental concentration in Edinburgh after Marchmont. Most students live in Victorian tenements with a mix of upper-floor flats and ground-floor accesses. Pollock Halls — the University of Edinburgh’s main first-year halls village — sits at the eastern edge of Newington. Bus routes 3, 8, 29 and 31 connect to the central campus and Princes Street.

Newington’s mixed tenement and street-front shop layout means kerbside loading can be variable — some addresses are above shops on South Clerk Street with no off-street access, others are residential tenement closes with quieter loading. UniMove collections here use LEZ-compliant vehicles (Edinburgh’s LEZ took effect in 2024). Pollock Halls collections are coordinated with the warden’s office for service-road access. Typical Newington tenement residents store six to nine boxes.

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.
