Luggage storage at the station and around the city
Cambridge is a university town and the administrative centre of Cambridgeshire, drawing 8.1 million visitors annually for its beauty, history, and culture. The city's main station, Cambridge Station, has a left luggage service you can reach on 01223 307125, should you need it.
Cambridge South station, by contrast, has no such facility, so plan around that. With Stasher, you can store bags from £1.49 per bag per day at 10+ locations across Cambridge.
Some top Stasher locations in Cambridge include:
Coverage is densest around Cambridge Station. Nearby points are hosted by hostel receptions, cafés and local shops. Every booking comes with the Stasher Guarantee, which protects your bags up to £10,000. Stasher storage in Cambridge can be booked through the website or app.
Arriving by train, plane, or coach
Trains from Stansted Airport reach Cambridge in about 30 minutes, with up to two Greater Anglia departures an hour on weekdays and one-way fares from £9.50 when booked direct. On board, you can bring three pieces of luggage—one large and two smaller—each weighing no more than 23kg. If you're coming by coach, National Express services use Parkside, which is next to Parker's Piece in the city centre. Licensed taxi and private hire drivers here must carry a reasonable amount of luggage and help you load and unload it, so you won't have to handle your bags alone. Cambridge station itself has step-free access to every platform, including lifts to platforms 7 and 8.
Getting around and exploring with bags
Cambridge station sits about a mile from the city centre—roughly a 20-minute walk—but frequent buses run to Drummer Street bus station, Emmanuel Street, and St Andrew's Street if you'd rather not drag a suitcase that far. That's worth bearing in mind if you're arriving at Cambridge Station with luggage.
Kettle's Yard doesn't allow any bags, even handbags, inside the house and has no lockers on site, so leave everything at the station before heading there. The Botanic Garden is at 1 Brookside, the Round Church Visitor Centre is on Bridge Street, and the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology is on Downing Street.
Seasonal events worth planning for
The Cambridge Film Festival runs from 22 October to 1 November 2026, and the Cambridge Literary Festival Winter Festival 2026 follows on the weekend of 21–22 November. CrossCountry trains link Cambridge to Peterborough, Leicester, and Birmingham, which can help with onward travel.
