Luggage storage Soho

Luggage storage in and around Soho

Soho pulls in shoppers, diners and late-night wanderers, and plenty of them arrive with a bag they'd rather not carry through crowded streets or into a museum.

A central museum here will hold your bag for a small fee, while the walking routes, markets and nightlife offer no storage of their own, so it pays to know which is which before you set out. With Stasher, you can store bags from £1.49 per bag per day at 40+ locations across Soho.

• Local shop · open 07:30–17:30 most days · rated 5/5 (200+ reviews)

Arriving and getting around with luggage

Oxford Circus is on the Victoria, Bakerloo, and Central lines, while Tottenham Court Road adds the Northern, Central, and Elizabeth lines, so both give you straightforward connections across central London. Tottenham Court Road has step-free access with lifts on both sides of the Oxford Street and Charing Cross Road junction, which helps if you're managing a suitcase. On Elizabeth line stations, Passenger Assist staff can help with luggage only between the train and the lift, so plan for that gap if you need more support. The tube from Waterloo to Piccadilly Circus costs £2.90, which is a cheap way into Soho from that direction.

Covent Garden and its Piazza are open public spaces you can wander through day or night for free, and the Covent Garden Underground station on the Piccadilly line is a short walk from the Market Building.

Museums and galleries: bag rules and storage

The British Museum doesn't allow wheeled suitcases or anything bigger than 40cm x 40cm x 50cm or 8kg inside, but it does have a cloakroom near the Great Russell Street entrance, open daily from 10.00 to 17.00 and until 20.30 on Fridays.

The National Gallery takes a different line: wheeled luggage including cabin bags and suitcases is not allowed inside, but its Level -1 cloakroom in the Sainsbury Wing stores bags up to 56 x 25 x 45 cm for £3 an item. Charing Cross is the nearest mainline station, about 200 metres away.

The British Museum is served by Holborn, Russell Square, and Tottenham Court Road tube stations, which are a 7-minute, 7-minute, and 5-minute walk away, respectively.

Shopping, markets and a day out in Soho

Carnaby Street is the pedestrianized heart of Soho's shopping, known since the Swinging Sixties for its independent boutiques and global brands. For food, Berwick Street Market is one of London's oldest and Soho's main lunchtime spot, running Monday to Saturday from 8am to 6pm, while Rupert Street Market keeps the same morning hours and adds an evening session from 3pm to 10pm. Kingly Court's three-storey food hub around an open-air courtyard gives you another lunch option, and Chinatown's restaurants typically start serving from noon. The Christmas in Soho festival runs from 4 November to 24 December 2026, with festive lights centred on Carnaby Street.

Piccadilly Circus is a public square open 24 hours a day with no ticket needed, and Leicester Square is a West End entertainment hub known for film premieres and statues. Leicester Square Gardens open daily from 8am, though closing times shift with the seasons.
