Easy to drop off, easy to collect. Storage was in a locked room with cameras on the door. 24 hour staff, all very helpful. Will definitely use again.

Location was excellent! Directly across the road from the South Kensington underground station exit for ease. We were asked to leave our bags by the storage door in the shop but were assured that they would be moved and locked away, which they indeed were. Would definitely use again — it made filling the day at the museums simple.

Only a 15-minute walk from South Kensington underground, so nice and central.

100% excellent, friendly, helpful, felt bags were safe. Quick and hassle-free, literally 2 minutes
- RobinLSL
Very useful place for left luggage! Staff were helpful when needed.
- Wiktoria
The local near the tube station was a bit worried that we had been asked to just leave it out in the open, but they put it away safely and returned everything as it was.
- Patricia
Easy way to store our luggage. Simple to find and the staff at the business were efficient and quickly retrieved our luggage when we returned.
- Barbara
Everything went quickly and smoothly. We felt safe. The shop is right opposite the exit of the South Kensington Underground station. We had to show the booking and a photo of the suitcases was taken. Both had to be presented again when collecting. Dropping off and picking up each took less than 5 minutes and the staff member was very friendly.
- Rita
The shop was located right in front of the underground, and the process was quick and easy. I showed the booking reference, took a picture of the bags, and a few hours later went to collect them, which was also quick and efficient. I would use this location again if it were nearby
