About Storage Barbican
Storage Barbican is a locally rooted storage and area removal service based in the heart of the Barbican. From secure storage units to a dependable removal company service across the surrounding streets and estates, we are dedicated to making moving and storing belongings simple, safe and stress-free.
Our Story in the Barbican Community
Our story began over a decade ago, when we first started helping residents and businesses near Barbican Station, along Aldersgate Street and around the Barbican Centre. We saw how challenging it could be to find flexible storage Barbican solutions and a reliable removal company in the area, especially for people living in flats in the Barbican Estate, Golden Lane Estate and nearby developments along Goswell Road and London Wall.
What started as a small, family-run team offering local moves and short-term storage quickly grew into a comprehensive area removal service and storage provider. Over the years, we have supported countless office moves near Moorgate and St Paul’s, studio relocations near Smithfield and Farringdon, and family moves around the lakes, gardens and walkways that make the Barbican so distinctive.
Today, Storage Barbican operates modern storage facilities combined with a trusted removal company service, all managed by people who know the local streets, access routes and building layouts inside out.
Years of Experience You Can Rely On
Storage Barbican has been serving the community for more than 10 years. During this time, we have built our reputation on punctuality, care and clear communication. Our long experience in the Barbican and surrounding areas means we understand loading restrictions, estate access points, and the practical realities of moving in and out of high-rise residential blocks and busy city streets.
Whether you are relocating from a flat overlooking the Barbican Lake, moving an office near the Museum of London site, or needing long-term storage while renovating a property off Old Street or Clerkenwell Road, our experienced team has handled similar moves many times over.
Fully Licensed and Environment Agency Registered
Storage Barbican is formally licensed and registered with the Environment Agency for the responsible handling and carriage of waste. This is a core part of our removal company operations in the area, particularly when we assist with clearances, decluttering, or end-of-tenancy moves around the Barbican Estate, Charterhouse Street and the wider City of London.
Being Environment Agency licensed means we follow strict regulations on how items are transported, sorted and disposed of. We take this responsibility seriously, ensuring that anything removed from your home, office or storage unit is handled lawfully and ethically, protecting both our customers and the local environment.
Trained, Professional Staff
Our staff are extensively trained in safe lifting, packing, handling and driving, with a particular focus on the complexities of the Barbican area. From navigating restricted entrances and underground car parks to working in narrow service roads near Lauderdale Tower, Cromwell Tower and Shakespeare Tower, our teams understand the specifics of local buildings and estates.
Every member of our removal company team is trained to treat your belongings with care, whether they are transporting artwork from a flat overlooking the Barbican Conservatory, IT equipment from an office near Silk Street, or furniture from a townhouse close to Bunhill Fields or Finsbury Circus.
Our Mission
The mission of Storage Barbican is to provide reliable, honest and accessible storage Barbican solutions and removal services for residents and businesses in and around the Barbican. We aim to combine the efficiency of a professional removal company with the personal care and familiarity of a local service.
We want every customer, from long-term Barbican Estate residents to new arrivals near Old Street, to feel that moving and storage are fully taken care of. Our mission is to remove the stress from moving, offer clear pricing, and deliver a consistently high standard of service on every job.
Eco-Responsibility at the Heart of What We Do
Operating in such a distinctive urban environment, surrounded by the Barbican gardens, lakes and walkways, we are acutely aware of our environmental responsibilities. Eco-responsibility is built into our operations, from route planning to the materials we use.
We aim to reduce unnecessary journeys by combining pickups and deliveries within the local area whenever possible. Our teams use reusable packing materials where practical and encourage customers to choose eco-friendly options for boxes and protective wrapping. We regularly review our vehicle schedule to lower emissions and congestion on local streets such as Beech Street, Goswell Road and Aldersgate Street.
Recycling Partnerships and Responsible Disposal
As part of our commitment to being a responsible storage Barbican and area removal service, we maintain strong partnerships with local recycling centres and authorised waste facilities in and around the borough. When we clear items during a move or from a storage unit, we separate materials that can be reused or recycled from those that require specialist disposal.
We make use of local borough recycling centres and trusted commercial recycling partners, ensuring that furniture, electricals, cardboard, metal and other materials are diverted from landfill wherever feasible. This is especially important when dealing with office clearances near Moorgate and St Paul’s, student moves around Old Street, or household declutters in the Barbican Estate and Golden Lane Estate.
Strong Ties to the Local Community
Storage Barbican is more than a storage and removal company in the area; we are part of the community. Many of our team members live close by, shop at the same markets near Whitecross Street, relax in nearby green spaces like Postmans Park and attend events at the Barbican Centre.
Over the years, we have provided support to local community groups, small businesses and residents’ associations, particularly across the Barbican Estate and surrounding streets. We understand the character of the neighbourhood, from the walkways and podium level access to the mix of residential, cultural and commercial spaces that define this part of the City of London.
Our familiarity with local landmarks, from St Giles Cripplegate to the Museum of London site and the Guildhall area, means we can plan moves and storage logistics with precision and care.
