Storage and bag rules at Piccadilly Circus

Piccadilly Circus is the screen-lit junction where Soho, Chinatown, and the West End theatre district meet, so plenty of visitors pass through with shopping bags or a suitcase before check-in. The Underground station beneath it sits on the Bakerloo and Piccadilly lines, but London Underground does not provide accessible left-luggage facilities at its stations.

The Piccadilly Theatre's cloakroom takes coats, bags, and rucksacks for a small charge, though the theatre asks visitors to leave suitcases and large bags at home rather than bring them inside. Entry can include a bag check, so travelling light through the doors is the smoother option. With Stasher, you can store bags from £1.49 per bag a day at 20+ locations near Piccadilly Circus.

Getting around the area with luggage

Piccadilly Circus station itself has no step-free access, so anyone wheeling a suitcase should head to Green Park station instead, the nearest Underground station with step-free access. Charing Cross station does have a left-luggage counter in its Cab Passage entrance, run by a third-party operator.

Westminster station also serves this part of central London on the Jubilee, District, and Circle lines, which is useful if you're heading towards the river or the Houses of Parliament with bags in tow.

The Criterion Theatre sits right on the south-east side of Piccadilly Circus, about a minute from exit 4 of the station, so it's one of the easiest venues to reach if you've just come up from the platform. The station entrance itself is at Piccadilly Circus, London W1J 9HP.

Nearby galleries and museums: bag rules and storage

The National Gallery won't let wheeled luggage, cabin bags, or suitcases through the door at all, but its Sainsbury Wing cloakroom stores bags up to 56 x 25 x 45 cm for £3 per item.

The British Museum also bars wheeled suitcases and anything over 40 cm x 40 cm x 50 cm or 8kg, though its main entrance cloakroom on Great Russell Street opens daily from 10.00 to 17.00, and until 20.30 on Fridays. It is served by Holborn, Russell Square, and Tottenham Court Road tube stations, which are a 7-minute, 7-minute, and 5-minute walk away, respectively.

Charing Cross is the nearest overground train station to the National Gallery, located approximately 200 metres away.

West End venues and their policies

The Cambridge Theatre charges £3 to check clothing and £5 for bags and suitcases, with Covent Garden and Leicester Square as the nearest tube stops. The Leicester Square Theatre has no cloakroom at all, so only small bags are realistic there — and even those may be searched at the door. Leicester Square station itself sits on the Northern and Piccadilly lines, putting the square's cinemas and restaurants within easy reach.

Covent Garden is served by its own station on the Piccadilly line, and the Piazza and Market Building are public spaces open to everyone day or night.
