Student Storage for Ravensbourne University London - Collection from SE10, SE8 and the Greenwich Peninsula
Ravensbourne University London is a specialist university for digital media, design and technology, based at Penrose Way on the Greenwich Peninsula in SE10, right beside The O2 arena. Ravensbourne’s building sits directly on the Thames waterfront with panoramic views across the river. The university offers programmes in fashion, graphic design, digital film, animation, broadcasting and UX design, attracting creative students from across the UK and internationally. Unlike most London universities, Ravensbourne does not operate large traditional halls of residence so students live in private houses and flats across Greenwich, Deptford, SE8, SE10 and the wider south-east London area.
The Greenwich Peninsula is approximately 17 miles from our Grays, Essex storage facility, via the A2 and Blackwall Tunnel, one of the shortest distances of any London university location to us. Our collection team covers SE10, SE8, SE14, SE10 and surrounding postcodes Monday to Sunday throughout the summer term. The Greenwich Peninsula and Deptford areas have generally good vehicle access and most Ravensbourne bookings receive a confirmed collection date within 24 hours.
Ravensbourne students in digital media and design often accumulate equipment over the course of their programme. Large monitors, drawing tablets, lighting kits, camera equipment, hard drives, design reference books and print materials all take up more space than standard student belongings. When you book, tell your coordinator what you have, particularly any large, fragile or high-value technical equipment, and they will confirm the most suitable storage unit size and loading arrangements. Our 35 sq ft and 70 sq ft units are best suited for students with substantial quantities of gear.
Ravensbourne has international students from across Europe, Asia and beyond studying creative technology and design programmes. For students returning home after graduation, we collect from your Greenwich or south-east London address, store everything in our Essex facility and ship door-to-door to any country worldwide. We handle customs documentation and work with specialist freight partners, including careful packaging recommendations for fragile technical equipment going overseas.

Getting Your Ravensbourne Belongings Back - Delivery, Shipping and Returns
When you are ready for your belongings back, your coordinator arranges delivery to your new address. SE10, SE8 and surrounding south-east London postcodes are some of the closest to our facility and are typically reached the next working day. For students with technical equipment, advise your coordinator in advance so we can ensure appropriate handling on delivery.
Going Back to University Next Year?
This is the most common reason students use our service and it is the simplest delivery to arrange. When your new halls or student house is ready for you to move in, contact your move coordinator with your new address and your preferred delivery date and we will bring everything back to you. It does not matter if your new address is different from where we collected. If you were in student halls last year and are moving into a private house this year, we deliver to the new address without any issue. We recommend giving us at least one week’s notice for UK deliveries so we can confirm your slot, though we can often accommodate shorter notice if needed. A lot of returning students book their storage at the end of one year and have everything delivered straight to their new address at the start of the next, meaning they never need to carry anything themselves between years.
Moving to a New City or Town After Graduating?
If you are staying in the UK but heading somewhere new after graduation, we deliver your stored belongings directly to your new address. Whether you are starting a graduate job in Manchester, moving back to your family home in Cornwall or beginning a new chapter in a city you have never lived in before, we deliver from our Essex facility to any UK postcode. Distance is not a factor and you do not need to be in London or the South East to receive your delivery. Contact your move coordinator with your delivery postcode and we will confirm timing and cost within one working day.
One Point of Contact for Your Entire Move
One person handles all of the organisation for your move including collection, packing if needed, documentation, freight booking and delivery updates. There are no call centres and no being passed between departments. Your move coordinator’s details are confirmed when you book and they remain your single point of contact from collection through to delivery, whether that is around the corner or on the other side of the world.

Ravensbourne University Student Storage - Frequently Asked Questions
How does student storage with collection work?
You book your storage unit online, choose the size you need and select a collection date. Our own team arrives at your address on the agreed day, whether that is a university managed hall of residence, a private student house or a shared flat. One hour of loading time is included in all packages, and our team will load everything into the vehicle for you so there is no heavy lifting involved. Your belongings are then transported directly to our secure, CCTV monitored and alarmed facility in Grays, Essex, where they are stored for the duration of your package. When you are ready to have your belongings back, you contact your move coordinator and we arrange delivery to any UK address or internationally. The entire process from booking to collection can be arranged within 48 hours in most cases.
How much does student storage cost?
Our summer packages run for 16 weeks from May to September and include collection from your door. A small student room package covering 15 sq ft costs £249 for three months, which works out at £15.56 per week. A large student room package covering 35 sq ft costs £399, equivalent to £24.94 per week. A full one-bedroom flat package at 70 sq ft costs £549, and a two-bedroom or house share package at 105 sq ft costs £699. All prices include collection from your door at the address you provide. After the initial three months, your storage continues at the same lower package rate rather than the standard pay as you go rate, so there is no price jump if you need to store for longer.
Is student storage with collection cheaper than renting a self-storage unit separately?
Yes. When you add up three months of standard pay as you go self-storage plus a separate collection service, the total cost is consistently higher than our packages. For a small student room, the comparable cost without our package is around £345, meaning our package saves you £96. For a large student room the saving is £138, for a one-bedroom flat it is £204 and for a house share it is £275. The saving exists because we include collection in the package price rather than charging it separately. We do this because the whole point of student storage is that you should not need to organise a van or make multiple trips to a storage unit at the end of term.
I am a Ravensbourne design or media student with monitors, camera equipment and tech gear - can you store these?
Yes. Ravensbourne students in digital film, animation, broadcasting, graphic design and fashion often have substantial technical equipment alongside their standard belongings — large monitors, drawing tablets, camera bodies and lenses, lighting rigs, hard drives, reference books and print materials. When you book, tell your coordinator what you have and describe the largest or most fragile items specifically. We will confirm the most suitable storage unit size for your load and plan the loading time accordingly. High-value electronics are stored in our secure, CCTV-monitored facility in Grays, Essex. If you need specific packaging for fragile equipment before storage, let your coordinator know and we can advise.
Ravensbourne doesn't seem to have halls - where do students live and do you collect from private addresses?
Ravensbourne University does not operate large traditional halls of residence. Most students rent privately in Greenwich (SE10), Deptford (SE8), New Cross (SE14) and the wider south-east London area, with some in purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) blocks in the Greenwich and Woolwich area. We collect from all of these addresses. Private house and flat collections work exactly the same as hall collections, give us your full address including postcode, your floor and flat number, and any entry code or parking details. Your coordinator confirms the logistics before collection day. The Greenwich Peninsula and SE10 area is approximately 17 miles from our Grays facility, making it one of the closest collection areas to us in all of London.
Do I need to be present when you collect?
You or a trusted representative should be at your address at the agreed collection time. This allows our team to confirm your items, work through the loading efficiently and complete any paperwork with you before they leave. One hour of loading time is included in all packages. If your building has specific access requirements such as a porter lodge, a key safe, a loading bay booking system or parking permit arrangements, please let your move coordinator know in advance when you confirm your collection date. Our team are experienced with university halls and student accommodation across all the areas we serve, so most access situations are straightforward with a little advance notice.
What is the difference between self storage and collection and delivery storage?
Self storage means you transport your belongings to our facility yourself and can access them during our opening hours. Collection and delivery storage means we collect your belongings from your address, store them in our facility and deliver them back when you need them. You do not visit the facility at all. For most students, collection and delivery storage is the right choice because it removes the need to hire a van, borrow a car or make multiple journeys at the end of term. Our summer packages use the collection and delivery model. We also offer indoor self storage units at our Grays, Essex facility for students who prefer drive-up access or who need to retrieve items during the summer.
How far in advance should I book my student storage collection?
We can usually arrange collection within 48 hours of booking, but for summer storage we recommend booking as early as possible. Collections in May and June are our busiest period and popular dates fill quickly, particularly around end-of-term weeks at larger universities. Booking two to three weeks in advance gives you the best choice of collection dates and avoids the situation where your preferred date is already taken. If you are in a rush, contact us directly via WhatsApp or phone and we will do everything we can to accommodate a short notice collection.
Are my belongings insured while they are in storage?
Your belongings are held in our own CCTV monitored, alarmed and secure facility in Grays, Essex. We recommend that you check your own contents insurance policy, as many policies cover belongings in storage as standard or for a small additional premium. Some student bank accounts and university accommodation packages also include contents cover that extends to off-site storage. If you need specific storage insurance and your existing policy does not cover it, your move coordinator can advise on options when you book. Please do not assume coverage without checking your policy documents, as the terms vary between providers.
Can I access my belongings while they are in storage
Yes, with a minimum of 48 hours notice. Access is available Monday to Saturday during site hours. Message your move coordinator to arrange an access appointment. If you have booked our collection and delivery storage service, your belongings are held in our managed warehouse area. If you think you may need regular or frequent access during the summer, our drive-up self storage units at the same Grays facility may be a better option. Ask your move coordinator to explain the difference when you book.
How long can I store my belongings for?
Our summer packages cover three months from May to September as standard. After the initial three months, your storage continues automatically at the same lower package rate rather than switching to the standard pay as you go rate, so you are not penalised for storing a little longer. There is no fixed end date and no requirement to collect at a specific time. You simply contact your move coordinator when you are ready for delivery and we arrange it from there. Year-round storage at monthly rates is also available for students who need to store between academic years or for longer periods.
Can I cancel my booking?
Before collection takes place you can cancel and receive a full refund minus a £25 administration fee. After collection has taken place the package is non-refundable. After the initial 16-week package period, you can cancel ongoing storage with 7 days written notice at any time.
