Student Storage, Without the Faff
Student Storage in London, Collected From Your Door
Moving out at the end of term is stressful enough without having to worry about how to get all your belongings home and back again. JamStorage takes that problem off your hands entirely. We collect your things directly from your student accommodation anywhere in London, store them safely at our secure facility, and deliver them back to you when you return. No van hire, no heavy lifting, no trips to a storage facility.
Our storage starts from just 20 sq ft, which makes JamStorage a practical option for students who have more than a few boxes to store but do not need a large unit. Whether you are heading home for the summer, going on a year abroad, or bridging a gap between tenancies, we have got you covered.

When Do Students Need Storage?
Student life involves a lot of moving around, and your belongings do not always have a convenient place to go. Some of the most common situations where student storage comes in useful include:
- End of term, when halls or rented accommodation must be vacated and taking everything home is not practical
- Summer holidays, particularly for students who live far from London, or outside the UK entirely, and cannot take everything with them
- Tenancy gaps, where your move-out date and move-in date do not line up neatly, leaving you with nowhere to put your things in between
- Year abroad or placement year, where you need your belongings stored safely for six months to a year while you are away
- International students who have no practical way to transport their belongings home between terms
Whatever your situation, JamStorage is designed to make the whole process as easy as possible, so you can focus on the important things.

How Much Space Do I Need?
Our storage starts from 20 sq ft, which is a practical starting point for a typical student room’s worth of belongings. To give you a sense of what fits in a 20 sq ft unit, that is roughly enough space for:
- Several boxes of clothes, books, and personal items
- Bedding, pillows, and a duvet
- A desk lamp, kettle, and small kitchen appliances
- A desk chair
- A bicycle
If you have more to store, we have larger units available too. Not sure what size you need? Get in touch with our team and we will help you work it out before you book or use our handy calculator.
Student storage that comes to you
Student Storage for the Summer
Summer storage is the most common reason students come to us, and it is easy to see why. If your home is far from London, or if you are travelling over the summer, taking everything with you just is not realistic. Arranging your own van hire, persuading friends to help, or cramming everything into your parents’ car is time-consuming and stressful.
With JamStorage, you simply book a collection before you leave, and we take care of the rest. Your belongings sit safely with us over the summer, and when you are back in London in September, we deliver everything to your new address. It is far easier than managing it yourself, and it means you are not paying for accommodation just to store your things over the break.
Storage for Your Year Abroad or Placement Year
A year abroad or a placement year is an exciting opportunity, but it does create a very real practical problem: what do you do with everything you own for the next 12 months?
JamStorage is well suited to exactly this situation. We collect your belongings before you leave, store them for the duration of your time away, and deliver them to your new London address when you return. There are no monthly visits to a storage unit, no ongoing logistics to manage, and no stress. Your belongings are simply there waiting for you when you get back.
Many students who use us for a year abroad or placement year find the whole process much simpler than they expected. You pack, we collect, and everything is taken care of until you need it again.

Is My Stuff Safe?
Yes. Your belongings are stored in a secure, clean, and dry facility, and handled by the JamStorage team from the moment we collect to the moment we deliver back. We do not use third-party couriers or share access with other customers.
We understand that as a student, your belongings might not be high-value in a financial sense, but they matter to you. Whether it is your laptop, your books, or that item you have been lugging around since your first year, we treat everything with the same level of care. If you have any questions about how specific items will be stored, just ask before you book.
