Paddington Storage

Collection and delivery is an affordable alternative to a traditional self-storage room you have to drive to and visit yourself. Instead of renting space across town, you pay only for the room your belongings actually take up. We collect from your door in W2, store everything securely, and return it on request. For most people in Paddington, who get around on the tube rather than by car, that takes care of the hardest part of storing anything.

The housing here is why space runs short so quickly. The W2 core is built from Victorian mansion blocks and tall stucco-fronted terraces on streets like Sussex Gardens, Westbourne Terrace and Norfolk Square, most of them carved into flats during the last century. They’ve got high ceilings and handsome proportions, but almost no built-in storage, no garages, and communal hallways where you can’t leave so much as a bike. The waterside developments at Paddington Basin and Merchant Square, built from the early 2000s along North Wharf Road and South Wharf Road, are modern and well finished, yet they share the same shortage of cupboard and loft space as any central London flat. None of it is cheap to rent or buy either. Across Westminster, the average flat is worth around £748,000 and average monthly private rents run to roughly £3,149, so paying a premium for a spare room to use as a box room rarely adds up. Storing what you’re not using does.

Paddington is a renter’s neighbourhood, and that shapes who we help here. Census figures for the W2 core show most households renting privately, and close to half are single people, often young professionals and couples drawn by the transport links at Paddington Station. The Elizabeth line, the Bakerloo, Circle, Hammersmith and City and District lines, and the Heathrow Express all run from one place, so W2 is a natural landing spot for people who’d rather have a short commute than a spare bedroom. That comes with frequent moves: the end of a tenancy, a gap between flats, or a long stretch of travel. Each one is a moment when your belongings need somewhere to go. There’s a business side too. Paddington Central at Sheldon Square and Kingdom Street is a sizeable office district, with Microsoft based at 2 Kingdom Street among others, so companies in transition sometimes need equipment, furniture or files held for a while without a building of their own.

We cover the whole of W2, from Paddington Basin and Merchant Square, along Westbourne Terrace and Sussex Gardens, across to Hyde Park Gardens and the Bayswater border, and up to Paddington Green. This is part of our coverage of Westminster, so wherever you are in the postcode, the same door to door service applies.
