Luggage storage at the Prince of Wales Theatre

Plenty of theatregoers arrive at the Prince of Wales with more than a handbag, and the theatre itself has no room for that.

The good news is that Charing Cross station, a ten-minute walk away, has a left-luggage desk, while nearby museums and smaller theatres mostly won't take large bags at all. The British Museum and National Gallery both refuse wheeled luggage, though each has a cloakroom with size limits. Wheelchairs and scooters can be stored in the theatre foyer for the duration of a performance. The theatre is situated between Leicester Square and Piccadilly Circus. Visitors are not permitted to bring food or drink purchased elsewhere into the Prince of Wales Theatre. The Prince of Wales Theatre has a step-free, street-level foyer with step-free access into the Stalls via Door B.

Nearby stations with official left luggage

Charing Cross is only a ten-minute walk from the theatre, which makes its left luggage facilities a practical drop-off point on the way in. Those facilities are in the Cab Passage entrance/exit and are operated by a third party. London Waterloo Station has an official left luggage facility located opposite the ramp to platforms 20-24.

Sights and bag rules around the theatre

If you're sightseeing before the show, the British Museum won't admit wheeled suitcases or large bags over 40cm x 40cm x 50cm or 8kg. It does have a cloakroom near the Great Russell Street entrance, though that only operates during museum hours, not late theatre evenings.

The National Gallery, about 200 metres from Charing Cross station, refuses wheeled luggage including cabin bags and suitcases. Its cloakroom on Level -1 of the Sainsbury Wing costs £3 per item and takes bags up to a maximum size of 56 x 25 x 45 cm.

Closer to the theatre itself, the Leicester Square Theatre doesn't have a cloakroom at all, and while small bags are permitted they may be searched. The Criterion Theatre on Piccadilly Circus's south-east side can't take large bags or suitcases either.

Getting to the theatre and booking ahead

Doors at the Prince of Wales Theatre open 45 minutes before the performance, so there's a little breathing room to drop a bag en route rather than arriving at the very last minute. Buses on lines 3, 6, 12, 13, 19, 23, 38, 88 and 139 stop at the Haymarket near the theatre. Stasher bookings around the theatre are busiest at weekends and in July and August, so booking ahead then is sensible. Most drop-offs are booked between 09:00 and 12:00, so allow a little extra time if you're arriving mid-morning.
