You already know you need storage. What you don’t know is whether Marlow is close enough to be worth the drive, or just another “nearby” claim every storage site makes. Here’s the plain answer, with the road you’d actually take.
In a hurry? Start here.
- Bourne End, need the road now: jump to the junction below.
- Marlow Bottom, want confirmation this isn’t “basically Marlow”: skip ahead one section.
- Sold on distance, want opening hours: go straight to access.
- Checking what isn’t offered: jump to the end.
Is Wigwam Marlow Close Enough to Bourne End?
Yes. Wigwam Self Storage Marlow sits on the A404 corridor, and Bourne End is already named on Wigwam’s own site as a served area. A short hop, on a road you already know.
Which junction do I leave the A404 at?
Join the A404 towards Marlow, leave at the Marlow/Bourne End junction, follow the roundabout towards Marlow, then turn onto Parkway and into Fieldhouse Lane. It’s the standard route onto the Thames Industrial Estate.
How far is that in miles and minutes?
As a range, since actual time depends on traffic on the day:
| Starting point | Road | Approx. route | Estimated drive time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bourne End | A404 towards Marlow, leave at the Marlow/Bourne End junction, follow Parkway into Fieldhouse Lane | Around 3 to 4 miles | Around 8 to 12 minutes in normal traffic |
| Marlow Bottom | Down to the A404 corridor via Marlow town, same Marlow/Bourne End junction area, Parkway into Fieldhouse Lane | Around 3 to 5 miles | Around 10 to 15 minutes in normal traffic |

What About Marlow Bottom: Is It Really the Same Answer?
It is, and it deserves its own line rather than being folded into “Marlow” as if it has no name of its own. Marlow Bottom has no storage site of its own, and Wigwam’s Marlow site is genuinely the nearest answer for it too.
Does Marlow Bottom have its own drive time, or is it just lumped in with Marlow?
It has its own row in the table above, a touch longer than Bourne End’s, since the route runs down through Marlow first.
Which road from Marlow Bottom?
Down into Marlow, onto the A404 corridor, then Parkway into Fieldhouse Lane, as above.
How Wigwam Marlow Compares to the Alternatives Nearby
This isn’t a price comparison, it’s a location one. Wigwam’s Marlow facility sits directly on the A404 corridor; the nearest big-brand alternative sits further out in High Wycombe, a longer drive from either village.
Is there anywhere closer than Marlow?
For a dedicated storage site, no. From Bourne End or Marlow Bottom, Marlow is the closer answer.
Access Hours and Getting In Once You Arrive
Access runs 6am to 10pm, seven days a week. Getting in uses smart entry, so there’s no key to collect and no office to time your visit around.
What are the exact access hours?
6am to 10pm, every day, weekends included.
How do I actually get in? Is it staffed?
The site is unmanned. Smart entry gets you in and out during access hours, with nobody needed to meet you. Prefer to talk it through first? Get a quote and the team can walk you through sizes and dates before you visit.
Courier or Tradesperson Access While You’re Not There
Because the site is unmanned, a courier or tradesperson can only get into your unit if someone from your own business is physically there. Support can help with sizing, availability and booking, but won’t arrange third-party access or discuss your business plans.
Can a courier drop something off if I’m not there?
Only if someone from your business is on site to handle it. Nobody is stationed there to do it for you.
Leaving Early or Changing Your Mind: the Exit Terms
Two separate facts, stated separately: no deposit at the start, and 14 days’ notice to leave, with any unused days refunded.
How does the notice period work?
There’s no deposit to pay at the start. Give 14 days’ notice when you’re ready to leave, and days paid for but not used come back to you.
What Wigwam Marlow Doesn’t Offer, So You Can Self-Select
There’s no climate control here; the real claim is clean, dry and secure, suited to household goods rather than a temperature-controlled promise. There’s also no vehicle, motorcycle or caravan storage at this or any Wigwam site, and no container storage at Marlow specifically (that’s a Shipston-on-Stour, Chipping Norton and Warminster option).
Does it have climate control?
No. Clean, dry and secure is the real claim, a more limited one than climate control.
Can I store a car or caravan here?
No, not here or at any Wigwam site. If that’s what you need, this isn’t the right page for you.
The Short Answer for Bourne End and Marlow Bottom
