All of us dream of a great big house in an expensive area, but unfortunately only a select number of us will realise the dream. And even less of us will own a house in certain areas of St. Johns Wood. With prices upwards of £5m for a small pad, it is enough to make your eyes water.

Though despite the size of some of these houses, residents in St Johns Wood have a significant need for self-storage. CityStore Self-Storage has a storage facility in Chalk Farm, just 5  minutes from St Johns Wood. CityStore Self-Storage provides over 350 storage units from 10sqft to 500sqft that can be rented by both residential and business customers.

With prices starting at just £50 per month for our smallest units, CityStore are sure to find the room size to fit your needs. For more information on our storage facilities, call 0207 428 9988 or go to www.citystore.ltd.uk.

Number 243

Have you ever thought about whether your house number is lucky or unlucky? Probably only if the  number is either 13 or 666 have you even considered it. But now the results are in and the unluckiest house number has been revealed. In an article reported on the BBC after website visitor information was released by Confused.com, the unluckiest number has been found to be 243. Since January 2007, more home insurance claims were made by those living at 243 than from any other since January 2007.  The number 13, which has always been considered the unluckiest number, was way down the list at 182nd.

Also found in the top 10 were house numbers 190, 240, 241, 221, 217, 218 and 121 with the majority of claims being the result of accidental loss or damage in the home, with a small minority the result of theft.

“Now is a peak time for home insurance claims as there have been more people in the house over Christmas which usually means more accidents,” said Gareth Kloet, head of home insurance at the website.

In cases of insurance claims where more major repairs are necessary, many people use short-term self storage. Being able to move furniture and other goods out of the house for the duration of any works results in the work completed quicker and prevents any further damage to anything else. CityStore provides self storage rooms for residents in NW1, NW3, NW5 , NW6, NW8 and WC1 as well as many other local areas. Call us on 0207 428 9988 for a quotation.

New ideas in the world of self-storage often begin in the US and then find there way to the UK many years afterwards.

The majority of ideas are simple improvements on the well-trodden path of self-st0rage design and build, but occasionally a brand new idea comes around and may re-define the industry. One such idea is the Boomerang Automated Storage facility.Rather than the customer being required to access their storage unit via corridors, the Boomerang Automated Storage facility brings the storage unit to the customer. By tapping in a unique authorisation code, the customer waits by one of the numerous access doors to the storage facility and the automatic system finds their storage unit and delivers it to them.

All credit to the brains at Boomerang. This setup provides maximum use of space for the company and the minimum effort on the part of the customer. A match made in heaven we think. See below for a video showing how it works.

CityStore Self-Storage has a self storage facility on Malden Crescent in Camden Town, London NW1 8BS. For prices and availability, call 0207 428 9988.

The PogoPlug is a new multimedia sharing device that connects your external hard drives to the web so that you can access all your music, photos and documents wherever you go.
