Luggage storage at and around the Tower of London

Luggage rules around the Tower of London are a mix, so it pays to know which nearby sights will even let you through the door with a bag.

The Tower itself takes a decent chunk of your day, but Tower Bridge has no lockers at all and turns away anything bigger than a small backpack, while Shakespeare's Globe runs a cloakroom that won't take luggage either. London Bridge Station is the practical hub if you're arriving by train or heading to the Globe afterwards, with direct links to Gatwick and Luton. The Tower of London is a historic castle on the north bank of the River Thames in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. Tower Hill Underground station is a 5-minute walk away on the District and Circle lines. London Bridge Station has an official left luggage facility on the Upper Concourse, past the Redwood retail unit. Bus routes 15, 42, 78, 100, 343, and RV1 stop near the Tower of London.
