Very close the the science museum and perfect for us. Reasonable price, easy drop off and collection. Would recommend, first time using this sort of service and will do again.

Perfect location with a great cloakroom service — handing over our bags and receiving tags gave us real peace of mind.
- Kevin
Easy to drop off, easy to collect. Storage was in a locked room with cameras on the door. 24 hour staff, all very helpful. Will definitely use again.
- katrina
Location was excellent! Directly across the road from the Sth Kensington underground station exit for ease. We were asked to leave our bags by the storage door in the shop but was assured that they get moved & locked away, which sure enough they were. Would definitely use again, made filling in the day at the museums simple.

- Martin
100% excellent, friendly helpful, felt bags we safe. Quick and hassle free, literally 2 minutes
- Wiktoria
Local, close to the tube station, was a bit worried that we were asked to just leave it in the open, but they put it away safely and returned everything as it was.
- Patricia
Easy way to store our luggage. Simple to find and the staff at the business were efficient and quickly retrieved our luggage when we returned.
- Barbara
Everything went quickly and smoothly. We felt safe. The shop is right opposite the exit of the South Kensington Underground station. We had to show the booking and a photo of the suitcases was taken. Both had to be presented again when collecting. Dropping off and picking up each took less than 5 minutes and the staff member was very friendly.
Translated - Rita
The shop location was right in front of the underground, and the process was quick and easy. I showed the booking reference, took a picture of the bags and a few hours later went to collect them which was also quick and efficient. Would use this location again if nearby
