Luggage storage St. Pancras

About St. Pancras

St. Pancras International Station, or simply St. Pancras, is a central railway station located next to King's Cross Station on Euston Road in Camden, a borough of London. The railway terminal first opened back in 1868 and is an impressive example of Victorian engineering as well as Victorian Gothic architecture, and is much more than just a transit hub. The station is also quite beautiful, being considered by some to be one of the world’s most elegant train stations.

At present, St. Pancras serves not only as an entry point to London but also as one of the city’s most recognizable landmarks. It also serves as a major gateway to the rest of the UK, connecting London to places like Nottingham, Leeds, Sheffield, and Derby.

Fun fact: The famous Yamaha piano found within the station was donated by Elton John after his impromptu public performance at St. Pancras in February 2016. Since then, it’s open for use by anyone and has been played by some well-known personalities such as John Legend and Jools Holland.

This includes scooters, bicycles, suitcases, and similar items. As an alternative, leave your luggage with a nearby Bounce luggage storage option. 

Buckingham Palace

Another well-known London icon, the Buckingham Palace, is the Royal Family’s official residence in London. Spectators can determine if the King is home or not by looking at the flagpole on top of the building; if the flag is flying, that means he’s at home. When the King or his family are away, the Palace is open for tours. If you aren’t lucky enough to tour the inside, you can admire the castle’s impressive exterior and witness the Changing of the Guards every day at 11:30 in the morning.

You can’t wear backpacks or bring in suitcases and items that measure over 45 x 20 x 30 cm inside. We’ll watch your things while you’re in the palace; Victoria Coach Station is most likely the transit stop you’ll use and we have several locations in the area for storing luggage and non-essentials.
