Is the London Self Storage Centre any good? Secure?

Recommended Posts

Hi, I'm looking for a long term local storage unit. Have used the Shurgard in Forest Hill for a few years but they've just increased my unit rental cost by 11%. It was a 10% increase the year before, 9% the year before that- it's gone up by 63% since 2008 which is just iniquitous.

Before anyone says anything these are items that need to be kept and I don't have room at home. I know storage is expensive but I can't get round it so need a solution.

Looking online I saw that there was one in Camberwell at 37-39 Peckham Rd but it looks like a one-off space vs national chain so not sure about how secure it is.

Has anyone used it or heard anything about it?

Appreciate any feedback!

Thanks

    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
    • Moving into a new place and need both a wardrobe and a chest of drawers, ideally collection Friday. Thanks!
