Storage and bag rules at St Paul's Cathedral

If you're planning to visit St Paul's and arrive with more than a day bag, arrange storage elsewhere first — the Cathedral has no cloakroom or any place to leave bags or luggage on site. St Paul's sits on Ludgate Hill in the City of London, drawing visitors as an iconic Wren-designed landmark, a working church, and a site of deep historical significance.

This affects what you can bring in: nothing larger than 45cm x 30cm x 25cm, including handles, wheels, and pockets, is admitted, and everyone passes through security screening, which includes bag searches.

Sightseeing hours are Monday to Saturday from 8.30am to 4.30pm with last entry at 4pm, so plan your bag storage around those hours. With Stasher, you can store bags from £1.49 per bag per day at 20+ locations near St Paul's Cathedral.

Getting to St Paul's Cathedral with luggage

St Paul's station is on the Central Line, and Blackfriars station is a 7-minute walk away, so both put you close to the Cathedral. For a storage option en route, London Bridge station has an official left luggage facility on the Upper Concourse, past the Redwood retail unit. Buses 4, 11, 15, 23, 26, and 100 stop directly outside, though carrying a large bag on a busy route is not ideal.

Nearby sights and their own bag rules

Shakespeare's Globe limits bags to 40cm x 35cm x 19cm and won't admit anything oversized; its cloakroom, when operating, charges £2.50 per item but doesn't store luggage. Tate Modern does not allow anything larger than cabin bag size (55cm x 40cm x 20cm) inside the building, and is reachable from Southwark, Blackfriars, or St Paul's station via the Millennium Bridge.

Barbican station is a 4-minute walk from the centre on the Hammersmith & City, Metropolitan, and Circle lines. Barbican also operates a bag search policy, so leave extra time if you arrive with any bags; the venue states that its cloakrooms are open and advises against bringing large bags, luggage, or long umbrellas into the venue, and larger bags may be stored in the cloakroom.
