If you want to store your bags at Heathrow airport, there are left luggage offices in the arrivals halls in all the airport terminals.
To leave your luggage for a few days or longer, it’s considerably cheaper to use one of the self-storage companies just outside the airport. They’re easy to travel to by public transport. Even if you take a taxi, especially if you have more than one bag, the overall cost is still cheaper than leaving your bags at the airport. Moreover, they are totally secure and cheaper than the online companies that use shops as storage.
Left luggage inside Heathrow Airport
All the left luggage offices in the airport are run by the Excess Baggage Company.

Left luggage outside the airport
The two self-storage companies listed below are close to the airport. The cost of storage varies according to the size of the locker/unit and the length of time you want to store your bags.
As a rough guide, a 10sq ft small locker is approximately the size of a car boot.
