You may want to find out where to store luggage in London if you have some extra time without accommodation and don’t want to drag your suitcases around London.
This may happen on the day you arrive to London, you may arrive early and be unable to check in at the hotel or you may simply want to explore some of London before heading to your hotel. You may also find this is a solution for you on the last day of your trip if for example you have to leave the hotel in the morning and the flight does not leave until late… Those hours are much better spent without dragging suitcases around, especially if you are going to use public transport to get from one place to another.
There used to be lockers in London train and tube stations, but nowadays, there are left luggage offices and self-storage facilities to store luggage in London.
For this reason, after several people using us where to safely store luggage in London, we are going to explain in this article all the options available.
Storing luggage at the hotel
Usually, most hotels will keep your luggage at the reception, or they may have a specific room for this if you ask them. Hotels in big cities are used to this, so if the hotel location is convenient, I would first consider this option. Most hotels will do this for free, and others will charge a small fee to store your luggage.

Left Luggage Offices

Cloakrooms at Museums and Galleries
Most of London’s museums and galleries offer cloakroom services.
Depending on the museum or gallery, they might charge by time or size. They don’t usually accept large suitcases. My recommendation is to check their website where you will find detailed information.
Self-storage: Luggage storage for long periods
If you need to leave your suitcases or some boxes for several days, weeks or months, it is much cheaper to use a self-storage service than a left luggage office. This is very useful to know if you live in London and need to store some things for a few days, weeks or months.
The price depends typically on the space you need. The closest self-storage offices to central London are Safestore and Big Yellow Safe Storage.
Access Storage, located in front of King’s Cross station, offers a self-storage office that can be used for a few days. These lockers can generally fit up to 5 suitcases.
