Today is the first time in four years that all twelve months of the year feature 29 days. Yup. Today’s a leap day. Which means anyone born on 29th February finally gets to celebrate their birthday properly.

How to Get Into Self Storage, literally
Self storage. It’s a simple concept. You pay to rent space where you can store things.

Sights and Ships in Southwark
Our Quirky Camden blog seems to have started a ball rolling. It’s been suggested that we could look at the attractions around our other stores.

2016, The Year Of The Monkey…
February may feel a little glum with cold, wet and windy weather, but only 39 days after the world welcomed 2016, a new New Year will begin. As a fifth of the world’s population celebrates the Chinese New Year and the zodiac calendar begins in February, this can only mean one thing… more parties. London’s celebrations are expected […]
