Student Storage at King's College London - Collection Across All Five Campuses
King’s College London operates across five campuses in central and south London. The Strand campus on the north bank of the Thames (WC2), the Waterloo campus on the South Bank (SE1), Guy’s Hospital campus in Borough (SE1), the Denmark Hill campus in Camberwell (SE5) and St Thomas’ Hospital campus on the Albert Embankment (SE1). Student accommodation is spread across all of these areas, primarily in SE1, SE5 and WC2 postcodes. We collect from all named King’s halls and from private student houses and flats across all campus postcodes.
King’s SE1 postcodes, Great Dover Street, Stamford Street and the Waterloo area, are among the closest London student postcodes to our Grays facility at approximately 24 miles via the A2 and Blackwall Tunnel route. Denmark Hill (SE5) is approximately 22 miles. The Strand (WC2) is approximately 28 miles. This means King’s students in Borough, Bermondsey and Waterloo can typically book a collection with shorter notice than students further from the facility.
King’s College London has over 30,000 students and a very high international intake, particularly across its world-class medical, law and humanities faculties. Many King’s students completing their undergraduate degree move into postgraduate study, graduate employment in London, or return home internationally. Our summer storage service bridges the gap between hall check-out and your next address, however long that takes.
King’s medical students at Guy’s and Denmark Hill campuses often have longer academic years than undergraduate students and non-standard check-out periods. When you book, tell your move coordinator your specific campus and hall name and they will confirm the logistics. For students completing clinical placements before leaving, we can schedule collection to align with your specific finish date.

UK delivery and international shipping
Getting Your King's Belongings Back - Delivery, Shipping and Returns
When you are ready for your belongings back, your move coordinator arranges everything. King’s students returning to a new London flat, heading home elsewhere in the UK, or flying internationally all use the same process. SE1 and SE5 postcodes are typically reached the next working day. International shipments are door-to-door with customs documentation handled as part of the service.
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.
Student Storage Delivery and Shipping Prices
UK delivery and all international shipments are quoted individually by your move coordinator based on your destination and the total volume of your belongings.

King's College London Student Storage - Frequently Asked Questions
Do you collect from all King's College London campuses?
Yes, we collect from student accommodation across all five King’s College London campuses. Great Dover Street and Munroe House near Guy’s campus in Borough (SE1), Stamford Street near the Waterloo campus (SE1), Champion Hill near Denmark Hill campus (SE5), and halls and student houses near the Strand campus (WC2). We also collect from private student houses and flats in all King’s postcode areas including SE1, SE5, SE11, SE17, WC2 and surrounding streets. When you book, tell us which campus you are near and your exact address and your coordinator will confirm the access arrangements.
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 King's medical student with a non-standard term end - can you accommodate this?
Yes. King’s medical and healthcare students at Guy’s and Denmark Hill campuses often have different end-of-year dates to undergraduate students due to clinical placements and exam schedules. We can schedule your collection to match your specific finish date rather than the standard June window. When you book, give your coordinator your expected vacate date and they will confirm availability. We cover King’s medical campus postcodes throughout May, June and July.
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.
