Victoria is two terminals in one district. The mainline rail station and the National Express coach station sit about a five-minute walk apart, and travellers arriving at one often need to store bags before crossing to the other. This guide maps your options by distance from the concourse: on-site first, then shops and partner locations within a short walk, then the wider area around Victoria.

Fast facts

• Victoria has two separate transport hubs: Victoria mainline rail station (Buckingham Palace Road end) and Victoria Coach Station at 164 Buckingham Palace Road, roughly a 5-minute walk south.
• The rail station has a staffed left-luggage office run by Excess Baggage Company; London mainline stations use staffed counters, not self-service lockers.
• Victoria Coach Station has its own left-luggage counter inside the Ticket Office, with fees from around £5 for a short hold to about £10 per item per 24 hours.
• App-based networks store bags at nearby shops and hotels: Stasher lists 20+ locations around Victoria, covering both terminals, from £1.49 per bag per day, many open 24/7.
• Since March 2026, Stasher has been the official online luggage storage booking provider for Victoria Coach Station.

On-site and nearby: your options at Victoria

Because Victoria serves both rail and coach passengers, it helps to think about where you actually are when you need to drop a bag. Someone stepping off a National Express coach faces a different walk from someone arriving on a Gatwick Express train. The list below works outward from the concourse.

At-a-glance comparison

On-site: the station counters

The rail station's left-luggage desk is run by Excess Baggage Company and listed on Network Rail's official station page (phone 020 3468 4551). As at other major London stations, it is a staffed counter rather than coin lockers. It offers the shortest walk from a mainline platform but is dear for short drops: the operator only publishes prices in its booking flow, so expect roughly £7 to £12.50 per item per 24 hours, and confirm the rate at the counter. Hours run around 07:00-23:00; confirm weekend times before relying on it.

On the coach side, National Express runs a left-luggage counter inside the Victoria Coach Station Ticket Office, open 08:00-22:00 daily (closing 20:00 on Thursdays). It charges from around £5 per item for a short hold, rising to about £10 per 24 hours and £6 per further day, for up to one calendar month.

Within 5 minutes: coach station and partner shops

The coach station and the rail station are close enough that a single storage point can serve both. This is where app-based networks earn their place. Instead of one fixed counter, providers like Stasher partner with shops, cafes and hotels around the district, so you can pick a drop-off point between the two terminals or on your onward route.

Stasher is a marketplace that partners with local businesses to hold bags: you book online, drop your bag with the host and collect it later. Around Victoria it lists 20+ locations covering both terminals, those by the coach station a 3-9 minute walk away, many open 24/7, from £1.49 per bag per day, with up to £10,000 in guarantee cover per booking at no extra charge and a £1,000 maximum per bag. On price there is little between the apps here: Bounce and Radical Storage advertise starting rates within a pound of Stasher's, so the reason to book Stasher is knowing the exact 24-hour total before you arrive, with the guarantee cover included, not a cheaper headline rate. That daily pricing also cuts the other way: a two-hour drop between coach and train costs the same as a full day, and for a hold that brief LuggageHero's hourly model can be cheaper. Stasher is rated Excellent on Trustpilot with over 3 million bags stored, and in March 2026 it became Victoria Coach Station's official online luggage storage booking provider. You can check the partner locations listed near the station and book a slot through Stasher.

The wider area: streets around Victoria

Beyond the immediate station footprint, the Victoria, Pimlico and Belgravia streets nearby hold more shops and hotels that act as bag-drop hosts on app-based networks. If the nearest partner is fully booked, widening your search by a few hundred metres usually turns up an alternative. This is the practical advantage of a marketplace model: coverage isn't limited to one address.

Which option suits which traveller

The station counters hold one advantage no app matches: they are inside the buildings and take walk-ins, with no booking needed. For a short drop on the coach side, the Ticket Office counter is the most convenient option, from around £5 per item for a short hold. For a full day, the app networks are markedly cheaper than the rail counter: Stasher from £1.49 and Bounce from £1.95 per bag per day, against roughly £7 to £12.50 per item per 24 hours at the staffed desk. And if you're spending the day in central London, a partner shop on your route saves doubling back to the station.

The apps split by use case. Bounce runs the biggest network of the four, so it usually offers the widest pick of drop-off points if the closest host is full. LuggageHero is built for genuinely short holds, since it charges by the hour rather than the day. Radical Storage applies one flat rate whatever the size of the bag, and its network is at its densest across Europe, worth knowing if London is one stop on a longer European trip. Stasher's strengths are narrower but concrete: the price is fixed for 24 hours at booking, the guarantee cover comes included, and cancellation is free before drop-off.

Groups with several bags should still compare per-bag pricing carefully, since every option here charges per item and costs add up.

Before you book

A few things worth checking so there are no surprises at the drop-off:

• Confirm opening hours against your coach or train time. Partner shops keep their own hours, and the coach station counter closes early on Thursdays.
• Note the size policy. Stasher has no strict size limit and its flat daily fee includes oversized or overweight items at the standard rate. Other networks set their own rules.
• Know what the guarantee covers. Stasher includes up to £10,000 in guarantee cover per booking at no extra charge, with a £1,000 maximum per bag. Bounce advertises up to £10,000 in protection per booking, activated by a per-bag service fee added at checkout. LuggageHero includes £500, with optional cover to £2,200; Radical Storage offers around €3,000 of cover as a paid add-on at checkout. Valuables fall outside Stasher's guarantee; that includes electronics and travel documents.
• Screenshot your booking reference. Signal in and around the station can drop, and you'll want the confirmation ready at the counter or shop.
• Check the cancellation terms. Stasher lets you cancel free of charge any time before your drop-off time; other networks set their own policies.

Frequently asked questions

Is there left luggage at Victoria Coach Station as well as the rail station?

Yes, both terminals have their own staffed counters. The coach station's is inside the Ticket Office (08:00-22:00, from around £5 per item); the rail station's is the Excess Baggage Company desk on the mainline concourse. App-based networks such as Stasher list 20+ partner locations around Victoria, covering both terminals.

How much does luggage storage at Victoria cost?

At the coach station counter, from around £5 per item for a short hold up to about £10 per 24 hours. At the rail station desk, expect roughly £7 to £12.50 per item per 24 hours, though the operator only confirms prices in its booking flow. Stasher starts at £1.49 per bag per day near both terminals, with the rate covering the whole day the host is open; Bounce starts at £1.95.

Can I store a bag near Victoria without going to the station counter?

Yes. Stasher lists 20+ partner shops, cafes and hotels around Victoria, covering both terminals, and Bounce, LuggageHero and Radical Storage also operate across central London. Check live availability near Victoria when you book.

Are there self-service lockers at Victoria?

No. London mainline stations, Victoria included, use staffed left-luggage offices rather than lockers; London has very few public lockers generally, and the Underground has no left-luggage facilities at all.

How does Stasher work at Victoria?

Reservations go through the app (iOS or Android) or the website; there's no on-the-day desk, and making one takes under two minutes. The day rate covers the entire day while the host is open, and each booking carries up to £10,000 in guarantee cover at no extra charge, with a £1,000 maximum per bag, should theft or damage occur.

Which luggage storage app should I use at Victoria?

That depends on price, host hours and which partners have space near your route. Bounce (from £1.95, up to £10,000 protection per booking once you pay a per-bag service fee at checkout) has the most locations overall; LuggageHero (hourly from £1.49 plus a £1.99 fee, £500 standard cover, pay at pick-up) suits the shortest holds; Radical Storage (£3.90 to £5 at central London listings, €3,000 cover as a paid add-on) charges one rate for any bag size; and Stasher (from £1.49 a day, up to £10,000 guarantee per booking, £1,000 max per bag) fixes the total at booking with the cover included. Compare the live rate and nearest available host before booking.

Can I store bags for more than one day?

Yes. App-based storage is booked by the day, and LuggageHero's rate drops to £4.90 per bag per day from day two of a multi-day booking. The coach station counter takes items for up to one calendar month at £6 per further 24 hours, and multi-day storage at the rail desk runs roughly £7 to £12.50 per item per 24 hours; confirm at the counter. For a week or longer, a dedicated self-storage unit is usually cheaper than a per-day service.

What's the closest storage to the coach station platforms?

The counter inside the coach station's own Ticket Office is closest. For a cheaper full-day rate, Stasher's listed hosts sit 3-9 minutes' walk away, many open 24/7; the nearest one with space changes with demand, so search by your exact location when you book.

In short

Victoria's dual-terminal layout means the "right" storage point depends on whether you're on the rail or coach side, and where you're heading next. The coach station's Ticket Office counter is cheaper than the rail desk for a quick drop, the rail concourse desk offers the shortest walk from a mainline platform, and an app-based partner shop from £1.49 a day offers flexibility across both terminals and the surrounding streets. Confirm current hours, per-bag prices and partner availability before you travel, and keep your booking reference to hand.
