About student storage at UCL halls, London
UCL operates around two dozen halls of residence across central London, with most clustered in Bloomsbury (Ramsay Hall, Astor College, Frances Gardner, Schafer House, Max Rayne House) plus Camden (Ifor Evans, Langton Close, John Tovell), Bankside in Southwark, and Hawkridge in Holborn. Together they house around 7,000 first-year and senior undergraduates plus postgraduates. End-of-term vacate dates fall in mid June at the end of the UCL summer term.
UCL halls are spread across Camden, Westminster, Southwark, and the City of London — all inside the ULEZ and most inside the Congestion Charge zone. UniMove uses ULEZ-compliant vehicles for all UCL collections so neither charge passes through. Each hall has a different loading arrangement: Ramsay and Astor have dedicated service bays managed by reception, Camden halls (Ifor Evans, Langton Close) load from quieter side streets, and the smaller central halls use kerbside permits that we book in advance. Typical UCL hall residents store four to six boxes; the central-London room sizes naturally limit storage volumes.

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 UCL halls
How much does UCL 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 UCL hall room, secure storage, and return delivery. Most UCL hall residents store between four and six boxes — central London room sizes naturally cap volumes. Get a UCL halls quote for an exact figure.
Do you collect from all UCL halls including Ramsay, Astor, and Ifor Evans?
Yes — we collect from all UCL halls, including Ramsay Hall and Astor College in Bloomsbury, Ifor Evans and Langton Close in Camden, John Tovell, Schafer House, Frances Gardner, Goldsmid House, Max Rayne, Campbell House, and the smaller central halls. Each hall has its own loading arrangement which we pre-book with reception.
Do I pay extra for the Congestion Charge or ULEZ on central London UCL collections?
No — we use ULEZ-compliant vehicles for all UCL hall collections, so the ULEZ charge doesn’t apply. Most UCL halls are also inside the Congestion Charge zone; that’s absorbed in our standard London pricing rather than passed through as an extra. The quote you see is the price you pay.
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.
