Luggage storage at Birmingham New Street

Changing trains at Birmingham New Street with luggage means navigating a busy concourse, so a quick place to drop your bags between trains can turn a long wait into time well spent.

The station itself has an official left-luggage desk, but the venues around it are far less forgiving: the Birmingham Hippodrome has no cloakroom and refuses anything over 40 x 25 x 25 cm, while the O2 Academy and O2 Institute cap bags at A4. The O2 Institute does keep a cloakroom, though, so smaller bags can stay with the venue once you're inside. It is the largest and busiest railway station in Birmingham city centre. It serves long-distance routes to London, Scotland, Wales, and the south coast of England. The left-luggage facility is located in the south-east corner of the station, just outside the green zone. It sits on the station forecourt, next to the ticket barrier and opposite the entrance to platforms 10A and 11A.

Getting around the station and to the airport

The whole station is step-free, with lifts and escalators to every platform plus wide ticket gates for anyone with luggage, a wheelchair, or a buggy. If you're flying, trains to Birmingham International — the stop for the airport — take 10 to 15 minutes, so you can keep your bag with you right up to the airport run. Birmingham Moor Street is about five minutes away on foot, all on the level, which helps if you're changing between the two. The Midland Metro trams to Wolverhampton and Edgbaston Village leave from Stephenson Street, just outside the North exit.

Nearby venues: bag rules before you go

The Birmingham Hippodrome is a five-minute walk from New Street, but it has no cloakroom and won't let in anything larger than 40 x 25 x 25 cm — so a suitcase needs a plan before you arrive. The O2 Academy Birmingham, about 500 metres away, is stricter still: one small bag per person, no bigger than A4, and no large bags or rucksacks at all. It does run a cloakroom for a small fee per item, though Priority members use it free. The O2 Institute Birmingham sits about 0.5 miles from New Street and applies the same A4 size limit, with no luggage or larger bags allowed inside. Unlike the Hippodrome, it does have a cloakroom for visitors, so smaller bags can stay with the venue once you're in.
