The truth behind the viral 'messy break-up' scene in central London
Attic Self Storage takes credit for the viral cheating scene that appeared on the streets of London as it opens two new locations in Staples Corner and New Southgate.
The truth behind the mystery cheater whose worldly belongings were dumped on the streets of London has been revealed. Speculation from commuters sparked an online frenzy, with internet detectives trying to identify who was responsible.


With some speculation that it may have all been a publicity stunt, Attic Self Storage, is now claiming responsibility for the scene that sent the nation into a spiral of sleuthing.
Providers of best-in-class self-storage solutions, Attic Self Storage recently unveiled two new facilities in North London. Located on Waterloo Road, Staples Corner and Alexandra Place, New Southgate, these new sites are set to help Londoners and local businesses who may be feeling the space-squeeze.
With Google data highlighting a 39% year-on-year increase in searches for self-storage in London alone, the openings come as demand for storage space, both locally and across the capital continues to grow. The stunt was designed to show that Attic is here to help Londoners make space, whatever life throws at them, with further insight showing that divorced or separated people are twice as likely to use self-storage, making up 15% of the total customer base.
At the time, thousands of commuters passed by and began sharing the scene online. With over 600,000 views across social media, with many commenting about the series of events that may have resulted in this very public dumping, with users writing: “may this love never find me” and “love these type of people, shows everyone has their standards”.
Ex-Love Islander Cally Beech, and TOWIE star, Ella Rae Wise, even spotted the scene and shared stories on their social media channels as they passed it on the street.
Speaking about the new openings and recent activity, Sophie Bagnall, Marketing Director at Attic Self Storage said: “We’re committed to making storage simpler and more convenient, especially as space becomes harder to find. The opening of our newest sites in New Southgate and Staples Corner reflect our mission of making self-storage simple and stress-free.
“Whether you're renovating, storing stock, or just decluttering, our digitally-led, best-in-class service is here to help you make more room for what matters. Our recent stunt was our way of showcasing that whatever life throws at you, Attic Self Storage is here to help Londoners in need of space.”
