    Stasher's 2024 Guide to Luggage Storage in London 🧳

    London: the UK’s capital, one of the world’s busiest cities, and the place where it all started for Stasher. We stored our very first bags here in London and it’s been our number one city ever since. Helping you find luggage storage near you in London is what we are here for! 

    But let’s be real: you’re not here for the thrill of stashing a bag. We accept that. We’re here to help you with why you’re REALLY here - to have a great time in London. We want you to get the most out of your trip, whether you’re here for a day, a month, or even if you live here!

    This guide will tell you why you might need Stasher, how it works, where you can find storage near you, as well as local tips and tricks from our London-based team.

    Pack your bags - and we’ll see you soon!

    Where can I leave my luggage in London? 🇬🇧

    London used to have lockers in major train stations, but now only a handful of "official facilities" remain, and they are expensive (£7.50 for 3 hours, £12.50 for 24 hours, just for one bag). They also often have long queues while they scan bags. We set up Stasher to offer people a better service.

    Stasher has hundreds of storage locations in London (and thousands around the rest of the world). The guides below will help you refine your search (by station, airport etc). But when you're ready, the best way to find us is to use the search bar above, or download our app, and browse our available options. We guarantee they'll be better value than at the stations.

    Why store your luggage in London?

    Every day, millions of people travel through London. This is a city full of energy and full of busy people. Whatever the reason you’re here, there’s one thing you don’t want to be doing: dragging heavy bags or suitcases around with you.

    To save you wasting your first/last day with bags, Stasher is here to help you out.

    Luggage storage for tourists 🛬

    Whether you stayed in an Airbnb, a hotel, or with friends - nobody wants to be stuck with their bags after the dreaded 10am checkout. Sure, you might need better friends if they’re imposing checkout times on you. And sure, your hotel might offer free storage. But London’s a big place. With Stasher, you can choose from hundreds of secure storage options near you, either where you're staying or where you're going.

    Luggage storage for events

    Another common problem is the “no-baggage policy”! Stadiums, museums and arenas are getting increasingly strict on what you can bring in - to be safe, it’s advisable never to bring bags bigger than an A4 piece of paper. While some venues will have a cloakroom, like Wembley, you can be sure to face long queues and exorbitant prices.

    Stasher has several options dotted around all of London’s main venues: booking online avoids the queues and it’ll be much cheaper. Whether you’re into sports (we love football), music, history or anything else - it’s a no-brainer to Stash your bags first.

    Storing bags for a night out after work 🕺

    Does it surprise you to learn that Brits in London use Stasher more than international tourists? Even though we built Stasher primarily for travel, locals appreciate the service too. Going on a night out with friends or colleagues? Going to the gym? Going on a date? Store your things securely and you’ll have one less thing to worry about.

    How to use Stasher to store baggage in London

    We built Stasher to help you out in all those circumstances and more. But how does it work?

    Stasher connects you with shops and hotels all across London who can keep your bags safe (we call them Stashpoints). These businesses have secure storage areas (either locked storage rooms or actual lockers). Check out our detailed guide to storing luggage in hotels when you're not a guest.

    When you book online with Stasher, you reserve this space for the exact dates and times you need. Your luggage is also guaranteed by us against loss or damage. You can search a specific location or hit the near me now button to search for luggage storage near you (remember to enable location permissions). 

    Booking is simple - we recommend downloading our app, but you can also use this website. Simply search for the area you need storage, choose the best option based on location, times and price.

    You can pay using credit card, Apple Pay and Google Pay. It takes less than 2 minutes and both you and the Stashpoint will receive confirmation by email.

    When you arrive in store, follow the instructions in the email, showing this and photo ID. Store the bag in the secure Stasher area - we also recommend taking a photo which you can show upon collection.

    That’s it. It’s easy, it’s cheap, and it’s your ticket to freedom!


    Do London train stations have luggage storage or lockers? 🚂

    When we founded Stasher - and invented the concept of digital-first luggage storage, subsequently imitated by LuggageHero, Nannybag, Radical Storage & Bounce - the first Stashpoint we ever signed up was by London’s Euston station. To this day, we target train stations first when we launch a new city - and we’re live in over 1000, so we’ve repeated this formula a lot!

    Below is a list of London’s top stations, to help you find what you need faster. Click to see our guides to each.

    • Luggage Storage near Euston

      A short walk from King’s Cross / St Pancras. Handy for visitors arriving from the north west, or planning to explore the nearby British Museum or the Wellcome Collection. The official facilities in the station are expensive (£15 per bag for the day or more). Tubes: Victoria and Northern lines.

    • Luggage Storage near Paddington Station

      Trains go west, and the Heathrow Express departs here. Drop your bags and enjoy a visit to Hyde Park, Little Venice or the Serpentine Gallery. Tubes: Hammersmith, Circle, District, Bakerloo and Elizabeth lines.

    • Luggage Storage near Victoria Station

      Trains go south, and the Gatwick Express departs here. A 10 minute walk from Victoria Coach station. Perfect for those headed to Buckingham Palace or the Victoria Palace Theatre. Tubes: Victoria, Circle and District lines.

    • Luggage Storag near St Pancras International 

      St Pancras - home of the Eurostar, Thameslink and the East Midlands Railway. Use Stasher’s luggage storage in London around St. Pancras International if you’re catching a train to Paris or visiting the British Library.

    • Luggage Storage near King's Cross

      Trains go north from King's Cross. Stasher offers plenty of luggage storage options near Kings Cross Station, ideal for explorers heading to the Harry Potter Shop, Hogwarts or Regent's Canal. Tubes: Piccadilly, Northern, Victoria, Hammersmith, Circle and Metropolitan lines all intersect here.

    • Luggage Storage near Charing Cross

    • Luggage Storage near London Bridge Station

      Trains go south east from London Bridge. It is home to the iconic Shard and Borough Market.

Tubes: Jubilee and Northern lines.

    • Luggage Storage near Waterloo Station

      Trains go south. Stasher’s luggage storage near Waterloo will free you up to explore the London Eye or stroll along South Bank, like in all the movies. Tubes: Northern, Bakerloo, Jubilee and Waterloo & City lines.

Stasher provides cost-effective and secure luggage storage solutions nearby.
