Luggage storage Kings Cross

Luggage storage at and around King's Cross

If you're passing through Kings Cross with a bag you'd rather not carry, you're in luck — the station has its own left-luggage desk, and St. Pancras International and Euston have them too.

The left-luggage facility here is underneath the Parcel Yard pub, next to platforms 9–10, and it's open every day from 07:00 to 23:00. Just over the road, St. Pancras International — a separate station entirely — runs a left luggage desk in The Circle area on the ground floor, charging £12.50 per item for 12 to 24 hours and £7.50 for each further 24 hours.

Euston also has a staffed left luggage desk opposite the waiting room by platform 16, open until 21:00 Monday to Wednesday and 23:00 Thursday to Sunday.

Its fees start at £7.50 for up to 3 hours, then £12.50 for 12 to 24 hours, with each extra day another £7.50. With Stasher, you can store bags from £1.49 per bag per day at 40+ locations near Kings Cross.

Getting around with bags from King's Cross

The station is a major transport hub with an interchange to King's Cross St. Pancras Underground station, which is served by the Circle, Hammersmith & City, Metropolitan, Northern, Piccadilly and Victoria lines. The whole station has step-free, level access to all platforms, with lifts connecting the concourse to the mezzanine and the Underground ticket hall, which makes wheeling a suitcase through it straightforward. The main station itself is open from 05:00 to 01:36 Monday to Friday, 05:00 to 00:36 on Saturdays, and 05:30 to 01:36 on Sundays. If you're heading into the centre on foot, the walk to the heart of Central London is about 2 miles and takes roughly 35 to 45 minutes, though with bags you may prefer a quick Tube hop instead. The Piccadilly line reaches Holborn in around 3 minutes, while a direct Circle line journey to Westminster — for Big Ben — takes 25 to 30 minutes.

From St. Pancras International, direct Thameslink trains also run to both Luton and Gatwick airports, so you can connect straight from a left-luggage drop-off to an airport run.

British Museum and nearby attractions with luggage

The British Museum won't let you bring wheeled suitcases or large bags over 40cm x 40cm x 50cm and 8kg inside, but it does have a cloakroom near the main entrance on Great Russell Street, open daily from 10.00 to 17.00 and until 20.30 on Fridays. It is served by the Holborn, Russell Square, and Tottenham Court Road tube stations, which are a 7-minute, 7-minute, and 5-minute walk away, respectively.

Back nearer the station, Coal Drops Yard stays open to visitors from 10 am to 11 pm daily, so you could browse the shops there after collecting your bags, and the fountains at Granary Square, just beside it, run during daylight hours.
