Luggage storage across central Liverpool

Liverpool is a major tourism, business and retail destination, drawing plenty of visitors to the city.

The airport has its own storage desk, and a few venues around the city run cloakrooms, but the football stadium and several attractions either restrict what you can carry or offer no storage at all, so it's worth knowing the lay of the land before you arrive. The Royal Albert Dock is the most visited UK tourist destination outside London. Liverpool Lime Street Station serves national intercity and regional overground rail services as well as the local Merseyrail underground network. Liverpool Lime Street Station has an official left luggage facility, located opposite the Network Rail information point. Visitors are not permitted to bring bags larger than A3 into St George's Hall, and there is no cloakroom or storeroom available for public use. St George's Hall is served by Liverpool Lime Street Station, which is a 4-minute walk away. A secure room is available at Liverpool Cathedral for bags that are not permitted to be brought into the building during a visit. Liverpool Cathedral is approximately a thirty-minute walk from central Liverpool locations, including Lime Street and Central railway stations. The Walker Art Gallery has a cloakroom with lockers for bags and a buggy park, but large bags and umbrellas are not allowed in the gallery. The Walker Art Gallery is located a few minutes' walk from Liverpool Lime Street Station, which serves the Wirral Line. There is no cloakroom at the Merseyside Maritime Museum, but visitors can hire lockers for £2 plus a £3 refundable deposit at the information desk. James Street station, served by Wirral Line trains, is approximately a 5-minute walk from the Merseyside Maritime Museum.

Arriving by air or rail with luggage

Liverpool John Lennon Airport's own storage desk charges £15.00 per item for up to 24 hours, £22.50 for up to 48 hours, and £30.00 for up to 72 hours. Liverpool South Parkway is the closest station, about 3 miles from the terminal, with buses 80A and 86A covering the link. The fastest public transport into the centre is the Arriva 500 bus, taking around 30 minutes, while the train from Lime Street takes closer to 50. On Merseyrail, use the wider staffed gate if you have luggage, take the lift rather than the escalator, keep aisles clear of luggage, and avoid putting oversize or heavy bags on overhead shelves.

Stadium bag rules and getting to Anfield

Anfield is Liverpool FC's home ground, and its bag policy is strict: only small handheld bags no bigger than A5 or clear LFC superstore carriers get through the gates. Anfield has no luggage or bag storage facilities of its own. The 917 express shuttle runs from Commutation Row in the city centre to Anfield in about 15 minutes.

Sandhills Station on the Northern Line serves Anfield, with a Soccerbus or concert bus for the onward journey.

Bag rules at museums, galleries and venues

Tate Liverpool + RIBA North requires bags to be cabin size or smaller, while the Victoria Gallery & Museum asks visitors to deposit large bags in its designated cloakroom. The Beyond Van Gogh exhibition does not permit backpacks, suitcases or larger bags inside the exhibit. The Cavern Club has a cloakroom at £2 per item, subject to availability, and it's served by Central, Moorfields and Lime Street stations.

O2 Academy Liverpool runs a cloakroom for small items, charging a small fee per item, though Priority members can use it for free. The Royal Court Theatre, a historic Art Deco venue known for locally themed plays and comedies, sits near Lime Street Station and Queen Square bus station.

Bold Street is pedestrianised for most of its length and at its best between 11:00 and 19:00.
