How our luggage storage facilities can help
Travelling is one of those things that everyone should do at least once in their lives. Things like cost, distance and schedules may affect how often you travel but one thing that shouldn’t is how secure the possessions you leave at home will be.
Perhaps while you’re away, you plan to rent out your home as an Airbnb, or maybe you yourself are renting but plan to leave for a while and don’t fancy paying rent in a country you’re not actually going to live in, or maybe you’re moving abroad permanently but don’t want to ship everything at once – our luggage storage facilities can provide a secure alternative for you that’s safe, convenient and affordable.
Each of our units across London are individually alarmed, and our sites are monitored by CCTV 24 hours a day. So, whatever your reasons for travel, you can be confident that your possessions will be in safe hands.
For all your travel storage needs, visit one of our many locations across London and a member of our wonderful team will be more than happy to help you out.

All of your FAQ’s
Do I need insurance for stored items while travelling?
Yes, it is a requirement of the Self Storage Association that all customers have cover in place for their belongings while in storage. We offer Protection Cover for added convenience, or you can arrange suitable cover through an alternative provider. When booking a storage unit online, you can choose whether or not to include this at checkout. Alternatively, speak to a member of our friendly team if you'd like more information.
How long can I store my belongings for?
For as long as you need! Whether you're heading abroad for a few weeks, taking a work placement overseas or relocating for several months, our flexible storage rentals allow you to store for short or extended periods with a minimum stay of just one week.
Is travel storage safe if I’m overseas for several months?
At Attic Self Storage, we've designed our facilities to give you complete peace of mind while you're abroad, so you can focus on your travels knowing everything is being looked after until you return. Our facilities feature state-of-the-art 24-hour CCTV monitoring, motion sensors, perimeter fencing and early fire detection systems. Storage units and hallways are also well-lit and clean. From clean, well-lit hallways to individually alarmed storage units, every aspect of our facilities is designed to help keep your belongings protected for a long time.
What happens if your return date changes?
Travel plans don't always go to schedule. If you decide to stay abroad longer than expected, simply speak to your store team and we'll help extend your storage rental. If you return earlier than planned, you may also be eligible for a refund on unused rent, helping you avoid paying for storage you no longer need.
What is travel storage?
Travel storage is a self storage service designed for people travelling, relocating abroad or spending extended periods outside the country. It provides a secure place to store belongings that you don't want to move, ship or leave with friends or family while you're away.
Unlike luggage storage, which is best suited to short-term storage for suitcases and hand luggage, travel storage gives you a dedicated unit for larger belongings and longer stays, with the flexibility to access your items whenever you need them.
Travel storage is ideal for:
- People relocating abroad permanently or temporarily
- Professionals travelling overseas for work
- Frequent business travellers
- Digital nomads and remote workers
- Gap year travellers
- International students between accommodation contracts
- People taking extended holidays or sabbaticals
- Those downsizing before moving abroad
What’s the best way to pack belongings for long-term travel storage?
If you're travelling for an extended period, it's worth taking a little time to prepare your belongings for storage. Pack and label your boxes clearly so it's easy to find what you need when you return. Most importantly, make sure everything is clean and completely dry before storing, as trapped moisture can lead to mould, mildew and unpleasant odours. After all, nobody wants to come home from their travels to find damaged belongings.
