Bag Storage Near New London Embassy?

[JenD 180]

Have any interviewees at the new embassy found any place nearby that will store bags? My fiancé will have a rucksack with him - it would be considered cabin-size baggage, but it's unclear if that size is allowed or if no bags at all are allowed. He's called the nearby Sainsbury's, Waitrose and a few hotels in the area, and none of them will store bags.

 

Has anyone had any luck finding storage?

I can't tell you for sure, but a lot of train stations have lockers. The nearest to the embassy is Vauxhall tube station so that might be worth looking into!

People take in rucksacks, large handbags, tote bags and the like.

Not the cheapest, but I'll be using https://www.left-baggage.co.uk . Nearest station to the new embassy will be Victoria and it's like £15 a day. I'm sure there are cheaper but I'm going for reputable.

 

Here's the current US Embassy rules for bringing items: 

 

NOTE: Large bags / suitcases and laptops CANNOT be admitted.

I had a look today. Vauxhall does not, but Victoria does two stops away.

There is a branch of Mail Boxes Etc in Vauxhall that will keep bags for you. They only charge £2 for the first hour then £1 for every additional hour. That being said, there were plenty of people with rucksacks when I was there.

How big were the rucksacks?

Something like this 

 

 

Also for anybody travelling a long way and staying in a hotel, we left our larger luggage at the hotel (free) and picked it up late afternoon. They stored the bags after we checked out in the morning.
