Luggage storage at the Design Museum

Plenty of people arrive at the Design Museum with a bag that's bigger than a standard carry-on and need somewhere to put it before looking round.

The museum's own lockers on level -1 take bags up to standard airline carry-on size, subject to availability. They're sized large (115cm x 52cm x 48cm), medium (57cm x 52cm x 48cm), and small (57cm x 37cm x 48cm), so most day packs and cabin bags will fit. They cost a non-refundable £1 coin or a token from the museum shop. Security searches of visitors' bags may be carried out on entry to the museum or special exhibitions, so allow a few extra minutes for that. Stasher bookings around the Design Museum are busiest at weekends and in June and December, so booking ahead at those times is a good idea.

Getting to the museum with luggage

It's served by the District and Circle lines, which run frequently through central London, so a small case on the Tube from central London is manageable. Bus routes 9, 27, 28, 49, and C1 stop near the museum, giving a direct option from several parts of Kensington and beyond. Most Stasher drop-offs around the Design Museum are booked for between 09:00 and 12:00, so allow a little extra time if you arrive then.

Nearby sights with different bag rules

There are no left luggage or bag storage facilities available at Kensington Palace, and suitcases, large bags, and rolling luggage are not permitted inside the palace buildings, so pair it with the museum only after you've sorted your own bags. It's reachable via Queensway Underground Station on the Central line or High Street Kensington on the Circle and District lines.

Holland Park is a 54-acre public park in Kensington known for its woodland, sports facilities, and the Japanese-style Kyoto Garden. There is no official luggage storage or left luggage facility provided within the Holland Park neighbourhood, so if you're combining the park with the museum, sort your bags at the museum first.

West Brompton station does not have any luggage storage facilities, so don't plan to leave a bag there before walking up to the Design Museum.
