We offer tailored solutions for both commercial and private clients, combining decades of experience with a streamlined service that covers expert advice, customisation options, and seamless delivery.

If you need a long-term storage solution, purchasing a container is often the best move. It gives you complete control, no ongoing fees, and the option to customise it to your needs. At Shipping Containers of London, we supply a wide selection of new and used containers throughout Kensington and nearby areas like Hounslow and Ealing.
We stock both pristine ‘one-trip’ containers and fully inspected used units, all wind- and watertight. Whether you need a base for a conversion project, secure storage, or something more specialised, we have the container that fits the bill.
Our inventory includes popular sizes like 20ft and 40ft, along with specialised containers tailored for unique needs. Every container is thoroughly checked for durability and performance.
We use only premium materials to ensure longevity and strength across all our container types. Every container is purpose-built for harsh environments and heavy use.
Our containers are made from high-strength Corten steel, which forms a protective surface layer to resist corrosion. This is paired with marine-grade paint for added protection, making our units ideal for outdoor use in any weather condition.
Corner castings are crucial for stacking, loading, and crane handling. Ours are reinforced for extra stability, making our containers safe to lift and relocate even when packed or when stacked in confined spaces.
Kensington’s tight roads and high traffic require specialist container delivery. That’s why we use Hiab crane lorries for precise placement. Whether it’s a narrow mews or a tight construction site, our skilled team can lift your container into the perfect spot.
We conduct a full access check before every delivery. Our drivers are experienced and fully trained to ensure safe offloading, even over fences or into tight courtyards. You can learn more about our process on our Delivery Guidelines and Container Transport pages.

You’ll need around 60ft of clear space for a 20ft container and 110ft for a 40ft unit. Don’t forget to allow an extra 5ft on each side for the stabiliser legs on our crane trucks.
No. Our Hiab lorries need hard, level ground, such as concrete or compacted gravel. We can’t drive on grass or loose soil; it’s unsafe and can cause vehicle damage.
No extra crane is needed. Our vehicles are equipped with Hiab cranes that can lift and place the container exactly where you want it. For more complex lifts, we’ll discuss options with you in advance.
Standard delivery usually takes 3–5 business days from confirmation. If you’re requesting modifications or conversions, lead times may be longer. Weekend deliveries are available on request.
Some light modifications are possible, like shelving or adding lock boxes. For significant changes like doors, electrics, or windows, we recommend purchasing a container instead. Visit our converted containers page for inspiration.
Jeremy and the Team were very easy to work with. extremely quick to respond to our needs and the overall delivery was spot on. The container supplied was brand new and exceptionally clean, ready for our items to be stored safely and securely.
What a totally, refreshingly, brilliant company to deal with. They do what they say they will do at a time they say they will do it. Completely up front about everything: quality, cost, delivery etc. Nothing hidden. They accommodate the customer as far as humanly possible and their communications are spot on. I wish more companies were like this one.
The service from this company was excellent. We were working to tight deadlines and Jeremy was incredibly prompt in his communication, from the initial quote to the follow up email, to check everything had been received. He phoned the haulier and arranged a delivery around our schedule and Andy (the driver), kept us informed, so we knew exactly when he was arriving.
A professional company, that I would recommend highly.
