Whether you need to stow your belongings before moving into your university dorm room, create space in your tiny student flat, or just safely store items over the summer, Len's Self Storage has secure and affordable options in Edinburgh and Glasgow so you can simply leave your things with us.
Not sure where to start? We have a complete guide to storing with us, including how it works, what packages we offer, and how to choose the right size storage space for you.
What Size Student Storage Unit Do I Need?
From small lockers for storing essential winter clothes over the summer to larger units to keep furniture, electronics, and other possessions during term time, we’ve got you covered.
Share with friends to split costs too! If you and your mates club together, you could reserve a unit to use as a communal storage space for items you don't have room for.
