The self-storage market in Greenwich
Storage Compass tracks 5 self-storage facilities in Greenwich, holding an estimated 103,391 sq ft of lettable space between them. Every figure on this page is rebuilt from live sources rather than a one-off survey, so the counts move as the market does.
The Greenwich market is served by 4 named operators. Shurgard (2 sites), Access Self Storage (1 site), Big Yellow Self Storage (1 site) and Bloc (1 site) are the largest by site count. Brand concentration matters locally: where one operator holds most of the space, advertised rates tend to move together rather than compete.
By build format, Greenwich runs 3 mixed-format sites and 2 indoor climate-managed sites. Format drives cost to serve: container yards are cheap to build and quick to open, while indoor multi-storey stock carries higher fit-out cost but attracts longer average stays.
What storage costs in Greenwich
No site in Greenwich currently publishes a live online rate, so there is no advertised price range to report. Operators here quote on request, which typically means pricing is set per enquiry against current occupancy. If you are comparing costs, ask each site for a rate on the same unit size and the same minimum stay, otherwise the quotes are not comparable.
Is Greenwich over or undersupplied?
Greenwich has 0.35 sq ft of storage per resident against a UK average of 0.9 sq ft, roughly 61% below the national benchmark. That is measured across a population of 299,528 living in about 114,051 households. On this measure the local market reads as undersupplied.
Around 56.5% of Greenwich households rent rather than own. Renter share is one of the strongest predictors of self-storage demand in the UK because renters move more often, have less loft and garage space, and are more likely to need medium-term overflow storage between tenancies.
Planning pipeline and site context
19 self-storage planning applications have been filed in and around Greenwich in the last 12 months: 15 approved, 1 refused, and 3 still awaiting a decision.
