    The lockers were not working, however, this was not a problem and we left them in a secure room.

  • Léa3 days ago in British Museum
    very quick drop off point, no one was there when we came back for pickup before the musical we were going to see so we left and came back again a couple of hours later and it was all good and we got our bags back in a couple of minutes

    Staff were fantastic, quick and friendly. Perfect location - makes it so easy at the end of the day to grab bags and get on the train!
  • Kerry7 days ago in British Museum
    Great location near to Euston Station. Very easy to use lockers. Would definitely use them again.
  • Adi8 days ago in British Museum
    Excellent point! Very helpful staff, friendly and welcoming. In addition to being secure (it's in a hotel), reliable and flexible (long opening hours), the extra bonus is how lovely the staff are. They also helped us with directions and local tips.
  • David10 days ago in British Museum
    Awful (but I'm only saying that because I don't want anyone else to use it), one of the most convenient drop-offs for anyone visiting London while travelling through the city.
  • Sarah17 days ago in British Museum
    This location was ideal, with a quick 3-minute walk to the local tube station. Staff were very friendly and professional.
  • Thomas21 days ago in British Museum
    App was great. Had to change the date and the online chat was great. Had to cancel and get an email refund code which seems odd but worked great. Highly recommend Stasher.
  • Antonio21 days ago in British Museum
    Excellent service. Quick and secure! My luggage was labelled and taken to another room. When you collect it, just show the label they give you on delivery and they’ll hand over your luggage.
