  • Danni18 hours ago in Tate Modern
    Easy to find once I had booked. Initially I was confused that I couldn’t see a premier inn in the right location on google maps, when I planning which stash point to use. But it’s the hub by premier inn. As soon as I booked it gave me clear instructions. It felt very secure. Staff were polite and helpful. I would definitely use again. Ideal for the Tower of London as it’s a 2 minute walk from the main entrance

  • Lyndsey10 days ago in Tate Modern
    Location was perfect for London Bridge station. Price was significantly cheaper than storing our luggage in the station. The staff at the stashpoint were very efficient both when we dropped off the luggage and on collection. Would definitely use again.

  • Darren1 month ago in Tate Modern
    The staff at the Tavistock convenience store were friendly, polite and very helpful.  Would definitely recommend.
  • Paul3 months ago in Tate Modern
    Very central. Located conveniently on the south bank of the Thames. Once you go under the Premier Inn banner, the building entrance is around a u-bend, off to one side, so not immediately obvious but findable enough.
  • Shuo Yi4 months ago in Tate Modern
    The staff is really kind and helpful. The bags were tagged and stored in a locked room. 
  • Duncan7 months ago in Tate Modern
    As has been noted before Premier Inn on Borough High Street, is set back off the road and accessed by an alleyway. There is no big frontage to look for, just a small sign. But once located everything went swimmingly!

Tate Modern: bag rules and lockers

Visiting Tate Modern with a bag in tow means checking what you can carry inside and what to do with everything else.

Tate Modern has no cloakroom for luggage, so bags need a home before you go in. Nearby, Waterloo Station and London Bridge Station both run their own left-luggage desks, useful if you are arriving by train. The London Eye will not take large bags on board but does hold them at its ticket office, while Shakespeare's Globe turns away anything over 40cm x 35cm x 19cm. Tate Modern sits in the Bankside area of the London Borough of Southwark. The gallery holds the UK's national collection of international modern and contemporary art from 1900 onwards. Suitcases and bags larger than cabin bag size (55cm x 40cm x 20cm) are not permitted inside Tate Modern. Paid lockers are available on Level 0 of the Blavatnik Building, costing £4 for standard, £6 for large, and £8 for jumbo sizes. The lockers at Tate Modern do not accept cash and are free of charge for Tate Members. Visitors to Tate Modern are subject to security checks, and staff may ask to search bags upon arrival. With Stasher, you can store bags from £1.49 per bag per day at 20+ locations near Tate Modern.

Some top Stasher locations near Tate Modern include:

Getting to Tate Modern with luggage

Blackfriars station is served by the District and Circle lines, and Tate Modern says the National Rail station is about 300 metres from the South exit and about 800 metres from the North exit, so the exit you choose changes the walk with bags; it also has direct Thameslink services to Gatwick Airport. If you're coming through Waterloo Station, its own left-luggage desk sits opposite the ramp to platforms 20-24.

London Bridge Station also has an official left-luggage facility on the Upper Concourse, past the Redwood retail unit, which helps because it's the station you'd use for direct trains to Gatwick or Luton.

Nearby sights and their own bag rules

Shakespeare's Globe is stricter than Tate Modern: bags there must fit within 40cm x 35cm x 19cm, and the cloakroom, when open, won't store luggage.

The London Eye doesn't allow large bags or suitcases on board, though its ticket office holds items for £5, with collection by 7pm. Because collection is required by 7pm, it's worth knowing the Eye typically closes between 6:00pm and 8:30pm depending on the season.

Further north, the Barbican asks visitors not to bring large bags or long umbrellas at all, searches bags, and permits only one reasonably sized handbag inside its auditoria. Its cloakroom takes larger bags, and Barbican station is a four-minute walk away on the Hammersmith & City, Metropolitan, and Circle lines.
