Luggage storage in Holborn
Holborn sits at the southern edge of Camden, linking the West End to the City of London, and draws visitors for its culture, historic architecture and nearby attractions. The tube station itself has no left-luggage lockers or storage desks of its own, so don't plan to drop a bag there before heading out.
The British Museum does operate a paid cloakroom, though it can suspend accepting items when it gets busy. With Stasher, you can store bags from £1.49 per bag per day at 20+ locations across Holborn.
Some top Stasher locations in Holborn include:
You'll typically find a bag drop at self-service lockers, local shops and hotel receptions. Of the nearby points, 4 stay open late and 2 are open 24/7. Every booking comes with the Stasher Guarantee, which protects your bags up to £10,000. Stasher storage in Holborn can be booked through the website or app.
British Museum: bag rules and cloakroom
The British Museum does not allow wheeled suitcases or anything bigger than 40cm x 40cm x 50cm or heavier than 8kg through the door, so your cabin bag stays outside regardless. It is served by Holborn or Russell Square tube stations, each about a seven-minute walk, or from Tottenham Court Road in five minutes. Its cloakroom is near the main entrance on Great Russell Street, open daily from 10.00 to 17.00 and until 20.30 on Fridays.
Nearby sights and theatres with bag checks
The National Gallery London has a cloakroom on Level -1 of the Sainsbury Wing, charging £3 per item, but it only takes bags up to 56cm x 25cm x 45cm, and wheeled luggage isn't allowed inside at all. The Leicester Square Theatre has no cloakroom, so only small bags are allowed, and they may be searched on entry.
The Cambridge Theatre has a cloakroom charging £3 for clothing and £5 for bags and suitcases, and its nearest tube stations are Covent Garden and Leicester Square.
Arriving by train: left-luggage at nearby stations
