Why our long-term self-storage in Balham is perfect for travellers, expats and gap year adventurers

Long-term storage in Balham for travellers and expats storing belongings while working overseas

Store it, lock it, forget it

From snowboards and speakers to books, artwork and your favourite sofa - it’s amazing just how many things you’ll realise you can’t (or don’t want to) take with you on your travels. That’s where we come in.

Our storage units near Balham are designed with long-term travellers in mind. You can simply pack up your belongings, drop them off and head off on your adventure knowing your things are being kept clean, dry and secure. Of if you’re short on time, you can even arrange for a mobile storage unit to come to you. This is especially handy if you don’t have transport.

At Kiwi Storage, we offer flexible, affordable storage options that make it easy to store your stuff for as long as you need.

Extend your trip, come home early or move abroad for a couple of years - whatever you need, your stuff will be kept safe and secure until you get back.

Designed for longer stays Some storage facilities are best for quick in-and-out access or short-term needs, but this isn’t necessarily what you’ll need for the long haul.

Many of our customers are travelling long-term, or they need storage for other reasons such as downsizing, moving house or need more space for business-related items.

This is why we’ve made our long-term storage site in Balham ideal for extended stays - with flexible contracts, competitive pricing and storage units in a range of sizes so you’re not paying for more space than you need.

And because life doesn’t always follow a plan, it’s good to know that you can easily extend your stay, upsize, downsize or change things around if your return date changes.

Safe and secure while you’re away

You’ve got enough to think about when you’re heading abroad. Passports, visas, itineraries, vaccinations - so sorting out your belongings shouldn’t be another headache.

Having your storage booked in advance can give you one less thing to worry about. Your belongings are monitored 24/7 with CCTV, secure access controls and robust security measures in place throughout the site.

So whether you’re soaking up the sun in Thailand, working remotely from Lisbon or teaching in Tokyo, you’ll know your things are exactly where you left them - and in the same condition, too.

Easy access when you return

After a year of travel (and perhaps a few overnight airport layovers), unpacking can feel like a challenge. The good news is that getting your stuff back out of storage couldn’t be easier.

It’s really simple to collect your items when you return, whether you decide to do it in one go, or bit by bit as you get settled again. And if you’re moving into a new place and need a little more flexibility, we’re happy to accommodate your plans.
