Luggage storage at London Bridge Station

Luggage and London Bridge Station don't always get along, especially with so many riverside sights nearby that cap bag sizes or ban suitcases outright.

The Tower of London, Tower Bridge, Tate Modern, and Shakespeare's Globe all lack proper left-luggage facilities, so checking the rules before you set off is worth it. Shakespeare's Globe runs a small cloakroom for a fee, but it won't take actual luggage. The station itself is well connected for onward travel, with direct trains to Gatwick and Luton if you're flying straight out. London Bridge Station is a major central London railway terminus located in the London Borough of Southwark. It acts as a major terminus for Southern and Southeastern rail services, and also sits on the Thameslink route. There is a left-luggage facility on the Upper Concourse, past the Redwood retail unit. The station also offers step-free access to and between all platforms via lifts and level access.

Bag rules at nearby sights and attractions

Tower Bridge is only about a ten-minute walk from London Bridge Station, but it will not take your suitcase for you. It does not provide lockers or a cloakroom for bags, and visitors are prohibited from bringing suitcases, wheeled bags, or any items larger than 45cm x 35cm x 20cm inside.

The same practical problem applies at the Tower of London, which has no left-luggage at all and bars suitcases and rolling luggage inside. Heading west along the river, Tate Modern draws a line at cabin-bag size, so anything over 55cm x 40cm x 20cm stays outside.

Shakespeare's Globe is even tighter, capping bags at 40cm x 35cm x 19cm. Its cloakroom charges £2.50 per item when it operates, but it will not store actual luggage. The Globe is a ten-minute walk from London Bridge Station itself, so it's an easy one to reach and an easy one to get wrong on the bag front.

Getting around London Bridge with luggage

The Underground platforms at London Bridge have step-free access from the Borough High Street entrance, which helps if you're changing onto the Northern or Jubilee lines with a case. Buses leave from directly outside the main station entrance on the upper level, with more stops along Tooley Street, so there's no long walk to connect onward. If you're heading straight to an airport, the station has direct rail connections to both Gatwick and Luton.
