Self Storage Near Bow - Serving Mile End, Hackney & the A12 Corridor

Our Gillender Street store sits just off the A12 (Blackwall Tunnel Northern Approach) in east London, with easy access from Bow, Mile End, Hackney, Poplar, Stratford, and Canary Wharf. Bromley-by-Bow Underground station (District and Hammersmith & City lines) is less than 10 minutes' walk, and Bus D8 stops at St Leonards Wharf about a minute from the store. The A12 gives direct access to the M25 at Junction 29 and connects west into central London via the Blackwall Tunnel. Stratford - home to the London Stadium, Westfield Stratford City, and the ABBA Arena at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park - is minutes away. Queen Mary University of London in Mile End is also close by, and we welcome many students from the campus looking for flexible, short-term storage.

Bow sits at the eastern edge of the original city's expansion, between the River Lea and the start of the Essex countryside. The Bow Road - one of the oldest routes out of London - has been a commercial artery since medieval times, and Roman Road Market, one of London's oldest street markets, remains a local institution a short walk from the store. Today Bow is at the centre of east London's transformation, with Bow Locks - where the Limehouse Cut meets the River Lea - a short distance to the south, and the regenerated Olympic Park and London Stadium to the north. The Prologis Industrial Park, immediately adjacent, reflects Bow's continuing importance as a logistics and commercial hub.

East London's cultural output has been extraordinary in recent decades. The Barbican Arts Centre is a short distance west; Rich Mix in Bethnal Green brings film, music, and theatre to a diverse east London audience; and the cluster of creative businesses in Hackney Wick and Fish Island, just north of Bow, represents one of the largest concentrations of artists and makers in Europe. The area around Gillender Street itself sits close to Three Mills - a remarkable complex of restored tidal mills that once powered gin distilleries and are now used as film studios.

Whatever brings you to us - a house move, a business need, or daily logistics operations - we're here to help. A12 access, ample parking, and no long-term commitment.

  • An excellent location and ...

    An excellent location and a wonderful welcome. The process was quick and very straightforward; the service here is extremely well-organised and highly professional. The storage units are ideal and subject to the highest standards of security and safety, which gives complete peace of mind. Many thanks to the staff member (Nuno) who treated us with great kindness and completed all the formalities smoothly and with a high level of professionalism. A comprehensive experience that I would recommend to everyone.

  • What a great service ...

    What a great service by the Safestore Team in Bow E3 London. They gave a very professional, friendly, caring and courteous customer care. Specifically to mention the A-Team of Jiya and Elizabeth. I forgot an item on collection but they kept it safe and ensured I was contacted to collect. A gesture beyond expectation. Thanks to them and Nuno for a job well done. I will be using this branch whenever needed in future. Definitely a 5 Stat service. Well done.
