You can store your bags and suitcases at left luggage offices at some of the main London train stations, Victoria Coach Station and at some shops and hotels in central London.
There are no self-service left lockers at London train stations or left luggage offices at any London underground/tube station.
It can be expensive for short periods, so ask your air BnB, hotel, B&B or hostel if they have any bag storage facilities. Some will keep your bags for free, others will charge a small fee.
If you want to store bags for a few days, a few weeks or longer it’s much cheaper to rent a self-storage locker
Luggage storage in local shops and hotels
Online luggage storage companies let you deposit your bags with hotels, local shops, small supermarkets, cafes or other businesses. It’s cheaper than the train station left luggage office and as storage places can be found all over central London there’s a good chance of finding a place to store your bags closer to your destination.
All bookings and payment must be made online with a credit or debit card (not at the storage place) and include insurance against theft, loss or damage (read the small print to find out what’s covered).

Self-storage – long-term baggage storage in central London
If you need to store your bags for a few days or longer, it’s much cheaper to rent a locker in a self-storage facility rather than paying per bag at any of the left luggage offices mentioned above. They can also store larger items like bikes or boxes.
Prices are charged per square foot/square metre of storage space. The smallest locker is usually 10 sq ft/ 0.90 sq m, approximately the size of a large car boot. This is big enough to hold four to five suitcases.
Cost: Prices start from £11 per locker per week.
Top Tip: Get a written quote, not a verbal one. Some self-storage places will match or beat a quote from a rival company.
