Luggage storage at O2 Academy Glasgow

If you're heading to a gig at O2 Academy Glasgow, you'll want to sort your bags before you arrive, because the venue's own bag rules are strict. Many travellers passing through Glasgow find themselves with a rucksack or small suitcase that won't make it past the door, so knowing where to leave one nearby matters. The venue does have a cloakroom for visitor use.

The nearest mainline station, Glasgow Central Station, has a left luggage facility next to platform 1 on the main concourse, open from 08:00 to 21:00 Monday to Wednesday and 08:00 to 23:00 Thursday to Sunday. That's about a 10-minute walk from the venue, so it's a practical drop-off on your way in from the train.

Getting to the venue with your bags

The nearest subway station to O2 Academy Glasgow is Bridge Street, about 300 metres away on Eglinton Street. Since the venue restricts bags to one small A4-sized item per person, you're better off travelling light and dropping larger bags before you head there.

What to know before you arrive

Security checks at the door include bag searches, so leave anything oversized or restricted behind. The venue also bans all food and drink, including bottles, cans, and alcohol, so don't carry a picnic in your permitted small bag. The nearest bus stop is Bedford Street, a 2-minute walk from the venue, and the Glasgow Subway costs as little as £1.80 for an adult single.

If you're travelling from Queen Street station, it is adjacent to George Square in the city centre, so you'll need to cross town to reach the venue.
