Luggage storage

London

London used to have lockers in major train stations, but now only a handful of "official facilities" remain, and they are expensive (£7.50 for 3 hours, £12.50 for 24 hours, just for one bag). They also often have long queues while they scan bags. We set up Stasher to offer people a better service.

Stasher has hundreds of affordable luggage storage locations in London (and thousands around the rest of the world). The guides below will help you refine your search (by station, airport etc). But when you're ready, the best way to find us is to use the search bar above, or download our app, and browse our available options. We guarantee they'll be better value than at the stations.

Every day, millions of people travel through London. This is a city full of energy and full of busy people. Whatever the reason you’re here, there’s one thing you don’t want to be doing: dragging heavy bags or suitcases around with you.

To save you wasting your first/last day with bags, Stasher is here to help you out.

Luggage storage for tourists 🛬

Whether you stayed in an Airbnb, a hotel, or with friends - nobody wants to be stuck with their bags after the dreaded 10am checkout. Sure, you might need better friends if they’re imposing checkout times on you. And sure, your hotel might offer free storage. But London’s a big place. With Stasher, you can choose from hundreds of secure storage options near you, either where you're staying or where you're going.

Left Luggage options for events ⚽

Another common problem is the “no-baggage policy”! Stadiums, museums and arenas are getting increasingly strict on what you can bring in - to be safe, it’s advisable never to bring bags bigger than an A4 piece of paper. While some venues will have a cloakroom, like Wembley, you can be sure to face long queues and exorbitant prices.

Stasher has several options dotted around all of London’s main venues: booking online avoids the queues and it’ll be much cheaper. Whether you’re into sports (we love football), music, history or anything else - it’s a no-brainer to Stash your bags first.

Storing bags for a night out after work 🕺

Does it surprise you to learn that Brits in London use Stasher more than international tourists? Even though we built Stasher primarily for travel, locals appreciate the service too. Going on a night out with friends or colleagues? Going to the gym? Going on a date? Our secure bag storage throughout London ensures you’ll have one less thing to worry about.

We built Stasher to help you out in all those circumstances and more. But how does it work?

Stasher connects you with shops and hotels all across London who can keep your bags safe (we call them Stashpoints). These businesses have secure storage areas (either locked storage rooms or actual lockers). Check out our detailed guide to storing luggage in hotels when you're not a guest.

When you book online with Stasher, you reserve this space for the exact dates and times you need. Your left luggage is also guaranteed by us against loss or damage. You can search a specific location or hit the near me now button to search for luggage storage near you (remember to enable location permissions). 

Booking is simple - we recommend downloading our app, but you can also use this website. Simply search for the area you need storage, choose the best option based on location, times and price.

You can pay using credit card, Apple Pay and Google Pay. It takes less than 2 minutes and both you and the Stashpoint will receive confirmation by email.

When you arrive in store, follow the instructions in the email, showing this and photo ID. Store the bag in the secure Stasher area - we also recommend taking a photo which you can show upon collection.

That’s it. It’s easy, it’s cheap, and it’s your ticket to freedom!

When we founded Stasher - and invented the concept of digital-first luggage storage, subsequently imitated by LuggageHero, Nannybag, Radical Storage & Bounce - the first Stashpoint we ever signed up was by London’s Euston station. To this day, we target train stations first when we launch a new city - and we’re live in over 1000, so we’ve repeated this formula a lot! Many of our locations offer 24/7 luggage storage at London stations.

Below is a list of London’s top stations, to help you find what you need faster. Click to see our guides to each.
