Close to Paddington station and easy enough to find. Polite staff at the convenience store - the bags we left were photographed and then taken 'out the back' for the duration. Collected again with no issues. Would use this Stasher again and would recommend to everyone, too.
Hotel next to station. Easy to drop and collect. Bags stored in a locked room .
super friendly staff and perfectly located near train station!
Very easy and a positive experience. We were able to enjoy walking around Barcelona all day without having to carry our backpacks. Afterwards, we picked up our bags and walked just a few minutes and caught the airport shuttle bus. Highly recommend!
People there were super nice and helped mestep by step with the process.
Small shop, but helpful employees !
Fast, convenient, safe. And the owner is very nice. Totally recommended
Venue was good for us, open late so we were able to be flexible when out enjoying the city and not having to rush back to pick up the bags.
Location wasn't anything fancy but served its purpose. I would suggest adding the suite or door number provided to customer. The Uber driver drove to the address i gave them and some guys in the area sent him somewhere else and then we had to find the door number. The company signs are small.
Reliable service, very good location, and friendliness of the staff

East Midlands Parkway is the closest railway station to the airport, roughly four miles away, but there's no direct bus linking the two, so factor in a taxi or a pre-booked ride for that last stretch. If you're heading further afield, the 24/7 Skylink bus network connects the airport directly to Derby, Leicester, Nottingham, Long Eaton, Coalville, and Loughborough. East Midlands Railway permits two items per passenger: one large bag up to 90x70x30cm and one small bag or cabin-sized case. A free luggage assistance service exists, but it must be booked in advance through their Passenger Assist team, so don't leave that to the day of travel.
Donington Park sits right next to East Midlands Airport, with the terminal only about five minutes from the main circuit entrance, though the nearest railway station, East Midlands Parkway, is a 15-minute taxi ride away. During the Download Festival, the DP2 bus route runs from East Midlands Parkway to the festival's transport hub in Castle Donington, taking roughly 25 minutes end to end.
Bag rules at Download Festival are tight: into the arena itself you can generally bring only a small bag around A4 size, though accessibility customers are entitled to carry a larger one.
