Possible to store a suitcase at Victoria Train Station...

[garjobo123]

Hello All

Just a quick query...i am heading from Coventry to Euston and then going to see Wicked Musical ( i say 'i'..its for my daughter! ) which is opposite Victoria Train Station.  From there i am heading to Wemberly.

All ok so far, did this recently re gettingg to Wemberly..all good..excellent services actually.

Question is,  i will have 1 large suitcase with me...so..because i am not at the hotel in Wemberly..i want to store it at, Victoria Train Station, for ..3hrs..whilst we see the musical.  Then collecting and tube to Wemberly. Simple.

Only messaging because...i wont have a ticket re a train service from Victoria...because..i am not travelling to and from there. If you see what mean.

Will this be a problem, storing my bag,  do i have to have proof of travel?  or doesnt it matter?

I see online, storage..theres these places like Luggagehero etc  couple quid an hour.....simple enough?  one of these close to Victoria..i just..turn up? or best book?

Thoughts welcome.  

Aware maybe a silly question...perhaps...but i dont want to walk around london / cant get into theatre with a large bag etc  hence checking first.

Thanks for your time.

I don't know what there is at Victoria. At one time, all mainline stations had their own Left Luggage offices, but I think they all closed down for security reasons because of the IRA bombings etc. in the 80's. I assume that no station has their own LL facilities, but there might still be something run by other companies.

A Gooogle of "left luggage victoria station" mentions some places., including Luggagehero that you mention.
I doubt they would need prrof of travel (that was never a requirement in the past), because I'm sure that they would be used by many people that don't have tickets etc.

I assume security would be tight, don't know if they have a security type scanner. At minimum, I would expect a case search.
You may need proof of ID. I assume that you could just walk in with luggage, no booking.

It's best to check the web site of the company you're going to use and see what their requirements are.

Years ago, I used to use Liverpool St LL office as a convenient place to leave my bags etc. if I was travelling from there, but had spare time before the tain and wanted to wander around.

Apparently, this one is in Victoria station. Book in advance or just turn up:
