Great location, very convenient to go to the Science Museum
- Wiktoria
The local near the tube station was a bit worried that we had been asked to just leave it out 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.
- Rita
The shop was located 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. I would use this location again if it were nearby
- Paul
First time using stasher and the experience was really straightforward. The shop was lovely and the person working there was polite and quick to deal with our bags.
