Each operator's cheapest figure as shown on the linked page on the date given, before any collection, delivery, insurance or padlock charges unless stated, ranked on the price per 4-week month of that cheapest option (weekly prices × 4; monthly prices as shown; Stackt on its monthly-term rate). A box, a locker and a room are different products, so read the rank with the size. Prices on the operators' sites change; their pages are the authoritative source. Stackt figures are live checkout prices, VAT and basic insurance included; see the pricing page.

Where an operator publishes prices, the figures are the weekly prices on its own store pages (linked from the brand guide) × 4 weeks, before protection cover, lock and admin fee; a range means different stores charge different prices for the same size. "Quote only" means the operator has no price list and quotes after you enter your details; Big Yellow advertises one discounted locker price per store and nothing else. London average: SSA UK Annual Industry Report 2026, £42.39 per sq ft per year ex VAT for the London region (Cushman & Wakefield, "UK Self Storage Annual Report 2026", Revenue per Sq Ft by Region), shown with 20% VAT added so it compares with a quote. Stackt figures are the live rates for the 24, 48 and 72 sq ft plans over a 4-week month; see the full Stackt price list.
A walk-in unit is sold in fixed sizes and needs a van at each end. If you do not need to visit your things, these usually cost less, roughly in order of how much you are storing.
For boxes, suitcases and a bike. The Box Co. advertises £3.56 per box per month; Stackt is £9.60 per small box per month, or £7.68 on a 6+ month term, with collection and cover up to £100 per item. There is no unit to fill, so you never pay for empty space.
For furniture and boxes together. Stackt measures your items after collection and bills the nearest plan: £71.76 a month for 15 sq ft and £86.16 for 24 sq ft on a 6+ month term, against £98 for the average 25 sq ft London unit, and there is no van to hire.
If you do need to visit, the smallest walk-in unit is the cheapest. Big Yellow advertises £6–£10.50 per week for its smallest 9–10 sq ft locker or room at the 9 London stores we checked, introductory discount included (read 8 September 2026), and the cheapest unit in our Shurgard sample was 10 sq ft at Greenwich for £10.62 a week on an offer price.
Operators price each store on local demand and land values; Shurgard says "the closer you are to city centre the higher the prices will be". If you rarely need access, a store in an outer borough costs less, but add the longer drive each visit.
Sell, donate or recycle what you will not miss before you book; each small box you do not store saves about £9.60 a month with Stackt. A smaller unit on a longer term is usually cheaper than a bigger one on an introductory offer.
The only free option, and fine for a few weeks. It has no insurance, no inventory and depends on goodwill when you need things back, so it suits low-value items more than furniture.
The unit price is only part of the bill. This is where the rest of it goes.
| A London self storage unit | With Stackt | |
|---|---|---|
| Getting things there | Hire a van, load it, drive to the store, unload into the unit. Same again to get them back. | We collect from your door and deliver back when you ask. |
| Price | Per unit size, per store. London average about £98/month for 25 sq ft, more in Zone 1, usually after an intro offer. | One London price for the space your items use: £107.72/month for a Small Room, £86.16 on 6+ months. |
| Insurance | Compulsory and extra, priced on the value stored, or your own policy. | Up to £100 per item and £10,000 in total included; higher cover optional. |
| Padlock, deposit, admin | A padlock to buy, often a deposit or admin fee, 14 days to a month of notice. | Nothing to buy, no deposit, billed weekly, free cancellation up to 48 hours before collection. |
| Getting one thing back | Drive to the unit in opening hours and dig it out. | Pick the item in your account (every item is photographed) and we deliver it. |
The headline unit price is decided by location, size and how long the introductory offer lasts. The final bill is decided by what is added on top. These are the levers that matter.
The same unit costs more near the centre: operators price each store on local land values, so the cheapest walk-in unit is usually the one furthest from you, which means a longer drive each time. Stackt charges one price across London because the storage sits in our warehouse, not on your high street.
Units come in fixed sizes, so a room of furniture that needs 30 sq ft is sold the 50 sq ft unit. Stackt measures what your items occupy after collection and bills the closest plan, moving you down if you take things out.
Insurance, a padlock, a deposit or admin fee and two van trips typically add £100 or more over a short stay. Stackt includes basic cover, has no deposit or padlock, and quotes collection up front. Our per-item rate starts at £1.92/week if you only have boxes.
Chosen tariff is not final and may be adjusted based on actual space required in our facility. The tariff does not include the fee for packing, collection, and delivery.

Found Stackt online while looking for a temp storage solution, chose to use them for the added value of service to pickup and deliver to a new address. Better value than self storage. Everyone involved in the process was professional and helpful.
I used Stackt's services last summer. I had to leave my current apartment, and while waiting to move into my new one, I had to leave all my belongings in a storage unit. I had no problems either when I moved from my old address or when I finally moved into my new one. I found all my furniture and boxes in perfect condition.
Team were helpful, able to come with a 2 day notice on a Sunday to pick up items. Holding storage for a few months, so monthly rolling options helped reduce costs and allow flexibility on removing when convenient for me.
We Collect, We Store, We Deliver. Storage from £1.92/week per item, or £86.16/month for a Small Room on a 6+ month term.
