Nearby sights and their bag rules

The Natural History Museum is the closest major sight to Hyde Park and actually has cloakrooms, though they work differently: the Central Entrance cloakroom is only for large bags and suitcases, while the East Entrance one takes coats and smaller items. South Kensington is the nearest Tube station to the Natural History Museum, located approximately a five-minute walk from the Central and East entrances.

The Royal Albert Hall has a one-bag policy and any bag larger than about 40cm x 30cm x 20cm, or any extra bag beyond that one, has to go into the cloakroom for £1 per item. Walking to the Royal Albert Hall takes about ten minutes from either South Kensington or High Street Kensington station. Marble Arch itself has no cloakroom or luggage storage.

Bond Street and Knightsbridge have no official luggage storage from the transport authority or local bodies, but Bond Street station is on the Central, Jubilee, and Elizabeth lines, and Knightsbridge station gives direct access to Harrods.
