Great location directly opposite the station, the picture was handy to help find the shop. As another reviewer said the reciept we got was hand written but we had no problems leaving our 5 bags or collecting them so I’m giving it a full 5 stars.
- Sarah
Great, very close to the station and the gentleman I spoke to in the shop who took my bag was kind.
- Marco
Good place, especially for leaving luggages to get to St. James Park
- Andrew
Good location if you using the buses (bit of walk if you using trains) easy to find and staff were friendly. Stored in a locked room. Asked for name at drop off and pickup and asked for the photos of the bags we took when dropped off to ensure safety. Recommended.
- Andrew
Very secure location, locked front door and then stored in locked room. Staff were excellent and and got my bag very quickly when I explained I was in a rush. Would use again.

A very great service. Hope this service will expand to more cities around the world.
- Laura
Clean, well lit and convenient location right across from the main train station.
- Philip
If you need to drop your bags anywhere in Newcastle then this is the place. A 5 minute walk from the Station and the staff were fantastic at reception. Could not recommend this highly enough.

Luggage storage and bag rules at St James' Park
Matchday at St James' Park means bag rules at the gate and no place inside to leave one, so a little planning beforehand makes the whole outing easier.
The stadium itself has no left-luggage facility, and nearby St James Metro station offers no storage either, so bags need sorting before you reach the turnstiles. Newcastle Central Station, a ten-minute walk away, is your best bet for finding somewhere to leave luggage en route. St James' STACK, the fan zone just outside the ground, is for socialising rather than storing bags. Haymarket and Eldon Square bus stations are within a 5-minute walk of St James' Park. With Stasher, you can store bags from £1.49 per bag per day at 10+ locations near St James' Park.
Some top Stasher locations near St James' Park include:
- Hotel reception, 5 min walk · open 07:00–23:00 most days · rated 5/5 (1,000+ reviews)
- Local shop, 7 min walk · open late
You'll typically find a bag drop at hotel receptions, local shops and local venues. Of the nearby points, 3 stay open late. Every booking comes with the Stasher Guarantee, which protects your bags up to £10,000. Stasher storage near St James' Park can be booked through the website or app.

Getting to the stadium with luggage
St James Metro station sits directly beside the ground, which sounds convenient until you realise you can't take a suitcase inside anyway. If you're coming from further out, Monument station is a five-minute walk and has both the Yellow and Green lines running through it. Haymarket and Eldon Square bus stations are also five minutes away on Percy Street, though the same bag rule applies before you even reach the stadium. Newcastle Central Station is roughly a ten-minute walk, so if you're arriving by train with bags, you'll want to drop them somewhere along that route rather than carrying them uphill. The Metro station has lifts to ground level, but the footpath up to the ground is very steep, which makes luggage even more of a chore.
Visiting for tours, matches and events
Classic and rooftop stadium tours run about 90 minutes, and you need to arrive at least 15 minutes before your slot. On matchdays the turnstiles open 90 minutes before kick-off, so there's time to get through security without rushing. St James' STACK is a social hub and official fan zone for Newcastle United located just outside St James' Park.
