Self Storage on the Old Kent Road - Serving New Cross, Peckham, Bermondsey & South-East London

The Old Kent Road is one of London's oldest and most storied thoroughfares. Originally paved by the Romans as part of Watling Street - the road from London to the coast at Richborough in Kent - it has been a main artery into the city for nearly 2,000 years. Medieval pilgrims travelling from London to Canterbury would have set out along this road; Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales characters are believed to have gathered at the Tabard Inn in nearby Southwark before their journey. The road is famously the cheapest property on the original London Monopoly board - a label that no longer reflects the reality of one of south London's most rapidly changing neighbourhoods. The area is undergoing significant regeneration, with major residential and commercial developments planned along the Old Kent Road corridor that will transform it in the coming years.
New Cross and Peckham have become two of south London's most vibrant creative communities. Goldsmiths, University of London in New Cross has produced some of Britain's most celebrated artists including Damien Hirst, Antony Gormley, and many of the Young British Artists of the 1990s. The area's affordable rents and community spirit have made it a home for artists, musicians, and independent businesses, with the Peckham Levels multi-storey car park turned creative hub and Rye Lane market a short journey away. The nearby Burgess Park - one of south London's largest parks - and the converted gasholders at Bermondsey are local landmarks worth knowing.
Whatever brings you to us - a house move, a student term end, or simply running out of space in one of south London's most dynamic neighbourhoods - we're here to help. Extended access hours and no long-term commitment.
