Shurguard Self Storage build these lighthouses into their premises as a 3D logo. Their web site says:

"To the lighthouse for self storage!

One of the most distinctive features of Shurgard’s stores, which are usually purpose-built, is the actual lighthouse, built into the side of their warehouses, which is said to convey a sense of security and demonstrate innovation.

Certainly the three-dimensional motif is very memorable and now quite widely recognised in the London area, where most of Shurgard’s self storage facilities are located: like Access Self Storage, Shurgard is a very London-focused storage company.

There is a nice website with a collection of photos of some of the lighthouses and some entertaining lighthouse commentary at:
