The Surprisingly Wonderful World of Sea Container Storage

Sea containers aren’t just for crossing oceans anymore—they’re fast becoming a storage hero. Tough, weatherproof, and built to last, these steel giants are perfect for keeping your belongings safe from rain, dust, and curious hands. Whether you’re storing tools, stock, furniture, or just life’s overflow, a sea container gives you space without the fuss.

One of the best parts?  Containers come in different sizes, can be accessed easily, and don’t require long-term commitments like traditional warehouses often do. They’re simple, secure, and refreshingly no-nonsense, without locking you into long contracts.

That’s why they’re popping up in smart storage spots around the country. Take self-storage in Canary Wharf for example. If you’ve ever had a quick chat with our team at  Store That  in E14, you’ll know how handy container storage can be. It’s the kind of solution that fits right into busy Docklands life—practical, efficient, and close to home or work.

In a city where space is gold, sea containers are a quietly brilliant way to store more and stress less. Sometimes, the simplest ideas really are the strongest.

Flexibility is another major win. Sea containers come in lengths 20’ or 40’ high cube  and can be rented short or long term, making them suitable for both personal and commercial needs. Whether you’re renovating, relocating, or simply running out of room, container storage adapts easily to your situation.

At Store That, we can also accept deliveries in 20’ and 40’ containers which customers can directly unload into a 20’ or 40’ high cube container for storage. We also have forklifts on site for palletised goods.

This practicality is especially valuable in London, where space is limited and demand is high. Easy access, straightforward service, and secure units make it an appealing choice for local residents and businesses alike.
