Is there luggage storage at Waterloo station?

The answer is yes, there’s a luggage storage office in Waterloo Station, but it’s not one of the cheapest. It’s run by a private company called Excess Baggage that also provides a shipping service. You can drop your bags off there and pay on the day of collection (there’s no need to book and pay in advance).

In addition to the price, there are also other disadvantages to consider:

Possible queues both at drop off and pick up (especially on Saturdays and Sundays);
Extra £15 fee in case you lose your ticket for the collection;
Often the company does not assume responsibility for any damages;
The company will scan your luggage for security reasons and request you to open your suitcase for a mandatory hand search.
