Questions

Can I leave luggage at London King’s Cross or Euston?

National Rail’s station pages list left luggage at both, with hours shown for Monday to Friday (07:00 to 23:00 at each, as listed on 1 Nov 2026). Check the station page for weekend hours.

How much does left luggage cost?

We could not confirm prices. National Rail’s station pages list no prices, and the Excess Baggage Company’s price page said its pricing service was temporarily unavailable when we checked. Its FAQ says the cost depends on the number of bags and how long you leave them.

Are there luggage lockers at UK stations?

The Excess Baggage Company says all its units are staffed counters, not lockers, and that bags are security screened (x-ray) under the National Rail security programme.
