The YHA Hostel was very conveniently located near St. Paul's and the nearby restaurants. The front desk personnel were pleasant to deal with, flexible in making last-minute changes, and kept our bags behind the front desk, behind a securely locked door. They were even helpful in booking us a cab to our hotel. Thanks for making us feel so well taken care of!
Nice hotel; happy to leave our stuff with helpful staff who took care of our belongings and were open 24 hours, which was important as we couldn't say what time we would be back from Wimbledon to collect.
The staff was amazing and really well organized! Amazing point
The place is very close to Liverpool station and clearly recognizable.
The staff at the Premier Inn were exceptional. Very friendly and helpful. Our luggage was secured in a locked area and we felt very safe leaving our things there. They were also very flexible about what time we could pick up.
Easy to find, good communication, convenient if you are travelling to/from Liverpool Street Station, would recommend and use again.
The staff were very friendly, the luggage was tagged and securely stowed away without any delay. The pickup process was also very straightforward. Great overall experience!
Very easy to find and convenient for Liverpool Street station. Quickly served, easy drop-off and pick-up. Bags were tagged and stored securely in a back room. I would use it again if I were in the area.
Great! It was perfect. The suitcase is kept behind reception; it's secure. A label with our first and last name is attached to the suitcase, so we can then go out and travel light. The staff are very pleasant; I recommend it!
Great staff, making us feel right at home (it’s a shame we couldn’t stay longer 😉). Luggage was well secured and we appreciated the long opening hours.

Bags larger than an A4 sheet must be checked at the Barbican Centre. Its free cloakroom is on the Stalls floor, although the Centre suggests a voluntary £2 donation.
The cloakroom opens 90 minutes before an event and shuts 30 minutes after the performance finishes, so it is tied to performance times rather than available for all-day left luggage in Barbican. For oversized bags or storage beyond those hours, Stasher has no bag size or weight limits.
