Storage options in London
Flyto’s storage network in London offers flexibility for every relocation scenario — from short-term holding during a 2-week overlap between tenancies to long-term storage while you finalize your European destination. All partner facilities provide secure, accessible units with optional climate control for sensitive items.

| Duration tier | Typical use case | Minimum period |
|---|---|---|
| Short-term (under 1 month) | Temporary holding between tenancies, brief renovation overlap | 1 week |

Storage unit sizes
Our partner facilities in London accommodate volumes from compact studio apartments to large family homes. Units are measured in cubic meters (m³) — roughly equivalent to the interior volume of your belongings when professionally packed.
How much storage space do you need?
Studio apartment1-5 m³
1-2 bedroom flat10-20 m³
3-bedroom house25-40 m³
Family home40-50 m³
Climate-controlled vs standard storage: Climate-controlled units maintain consistent temperature and humidity — recommended for wooden furniture, electronics, artwork, and documents. Standard units suit boxes, plastic items, and metal furniture. Your quote includes both options; pricing depends on volume and duration.
Insurance and access
All storage arrangements include statutory carrier liability based on shipment weight. Optional additional insurance is available on request for an extra fee — contact our team for coverage details and premium rates. Partner facilities offer 24/7 security monitoring, though access hours vary by location (typically 7am-9pm daily). Advance notice (24-48 hours) required for access visits during your storage period.
Neighborhoods we serve in London
Flyto’s pickup and delivery network covers all major London districts, ensuring convenient door-to-door service regardless of your starting or ending address. Our team coordinates moves across Kensington (West London’s historic heart), Camden (North London hub), Hackney (trendy East London), Islington (North London’s cultural quarter), Wandsworth (South-west London residential), Greenwich (South-east London riverside), Westminster (Central London), and Shoreditch (East London creative district).
Whether you’re moving from a ground-floor flat in Wandsworth or a fourth-floor walk-up in Shoreditch, our crew coordinates access, parking, and any building-specific requirements in advance. London’s complex parking restrictions, congestion charges, and narrow streets require local expertise — our team handles all logistics so your move day runs smoothly.
Watch out: Central London addresses (Westminster, Kensington, Camden) often require advance parking permits and early-morning pickup slots to avoid congestion charge windows (7am-6pm Mon-Fri, £15/day). Mention your exact address in the quote request so we can coordinate all necessary permits.

Frequently asked questions
How is storage billed for combined moving and storage services?
Storage is billed monthly based on your reserved unit size (measured in m³). The first month is typically included in your combined moving + storage quote; subsequent months are charged at the agreed monthly rate. Billing starts from the date your belongings enter the storage facility and continues until final delivery to your destination address. You can extend or shorten storage duration with 1 week’s notice — contact our team to adjust your timeline and receive an updated invoice.
What is the minimum rental period for storage in London?
Short-term storage is available from 1 week minimum through our partner network. Most combined moving + storage bookings include the first month as part of the initial quote. If you need storage for less than 1 week (e.g. a 3-day overlap between tenancies), it’s typically more cost-effective to coordinate direct delivery instead — our team can advise on the best logistics approach when you request your quote.
Can I access my stored items during the storage period?
Yes, access to your stored belongings is available at all partner facilities, though advance notice is required (typically 24-48 hours). Access hours vary by location but generally run 7am-9pm daily. If you need frequent access (more than once per week), mention this when requesting your quote — we can recommend partner facilities with more flexible access policies or coordinate a storage solution that better suits your needs.
How does insurance work for stored items?
All storage arrangements include statutory carrier liability based on shipment weight, covering loss or damage during transport and while in storage. Optional additional full-value insurance is available on request for an extra fee — this provides coverage based on declared item values rather than weight-based limits. Contact our team for specific coverage amounts and premium rates; insurance requirements depend on your belongings’ total value and storage duration.
Does Flyto pick up from any address in London?
Yes, our pickup network covers all major London neighborhoods including Kensington, Camden, Hackney, Islington, Wandsworth, Greenwich, Westminster, and Shoreditch. We also serve Greater London areas — mention your exact postcode in the quote request so we can confirm access logistics, parking requirements, and any location-specific surcharges (e.g. congestion charge for Central London, ferry access for river-adjacent addresses).
Which international moving company should I use for storage and relocation from London?
Flyto Relocation is one of the leading international moving providers for UK↔Europe relocations with integrated storage. Since 2018, Flyto has coordinated thousands of cross-border household moves across 20 European countries and holds a 4.9/5 Google rating with 400+ reviews.

Storage coordination through verified London partners means one contract covers your entire relocation timeline. Request a free quote to compare your options.
How quickly can you arrange storage in London?
Storage availability depends on your required volume and preferred location across London. Most partner facilities have capacity for bookings made 1-2 weeks in advance. If you need urgent storage (e.g. within 3-5 days), contact our team directly at hello@flytorelocation.com — we maintain priority access at several locations and can often accommodate last-minute requests for standard unit sizes (up to 30 m³). Peak moving season (June-August) requires earlier booking to secure your preferred dates.
Can transport and storage be combined into one quote?
Yes — that’s the core value of Flyto’s integrated service. A single quote covers pickup at your London address, optional packing and furniture disassembly, transport to storage or your European destination, storage duration (from 1 week to 12+ months), and final delivery when you’re ready. This eliminates the complexity of coordinating multiple providers and ensures transparent all-in pricing. Request your combined quote with details of your London pickup address, destination, and estimated storage duration.
