    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. 
  • Sebastien4 days ago in Victoria & Albert Museum
    The only downside is that the storage is in the basement and the staircase is rather steep.

    Perfect location with a great cloakroom service — handing over our bags and receiving tags gave us real peace of mind.
  • Kevin19 days ago in Victoria & Albert Museum
    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.
  • katrina19 days ago in Victoria & Albert Museum
    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.

  • Wiktoria2 months ago in Victoria & Albert Museum
    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.
  • Patricia2 months ago in Victoria & Albert Museum
    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.
  • Barbara2 months ago in Victoria & Albert Museum
    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.
