The Premier Inn was easy to locate and air conditioned, and they keep your luggage in a locked closet and give you a claim ticket. There's a lift from ground level to the first floor reception desk. Effortless.

Canterbury at a glance: getting here and getting around with bags
Plenty of visitors arrive in Canterbury with hours to fill before a train or check-in, and a holiday rental rarely has anywhere to hold a bag.
The headline sight, Canterbury Cathedral, has no bag storage at all, and some of the city's events and exhibitions set their own restrictions. The University of Kent campus, by contrast, lets you travel with luggage on its shuttle service. Southeastern's high-speed rail service connects London St Pancras International to Canterbury West in 54 minutes. Train tickets from Canterbury West to London St Pancras start from £12.80. National Express coaches from London Victoria to Canterbury Bus Station have a journey time of as little as 2 hours and prices starting from £19 one-way. Canterbury East railway station is located a 5-minute walk from the city centre. Coach services can drop visitors off at the Canterbury Coach Park at Kingsmead Road, which is a 10-minute walk from the heart of Canterbury. Southeastern permits passengers to bring one item of hand luggage and up to two larger items, ideally no bigger than 30x70x90cm and weighing no more than 23kg. Southeastern advises that not all stations have step-free access and recommends checking station information for facilities when carrying heavy luggage. With Stasher, you can store bags from £1.49 per bag a day.

Luggage storage and bag rules at attractions
Canterbury Cathedral is the city's headline sight, a pilgrimage destination and one of the UK's most-visited historic sites. But it does not allow suitcases or large bags inside, and it has no facilities for storing visitors' personal property — so don't plan to drop a bag at the door. Canterbury Live prohibits large bags or suitcases at its event site, and the Canterbury Festival runs across various locations in the city from 16 October to 31 October 2026. If you're visiting The Making of Marlowe exhibition at The Beaney House of Art & Knowledge, running until 22 November 2026, check bag rules before arriving.
Exploring beyond the centre: university and campus travel
The University of Kent campus sits about a 25-minute walk from Canterbury West station. The shuttle allows passengers to bring bags, with small items going overhead and larger ones stored in the undercarriage compartment.
