The difference between left luggage and luggage storage is the geographic location

Left luggage is luggage that people have left in a designated luggage storage facility. The term ‘left luggage’ is mostly used in the UK. And luggage storage is a storage facility where people leave their luggage. Luggage storage is the most common name used internationally when referring to storing luggage.

In other words, there is absolutely no difference between the two concepts. They are both defined by people’s need of storing luggage which can be collected at a later time. So whether you are looking for left luggage or luggage storage, LugaggeHero is here to take care of your belongings

The British Museum

Dedicated to art and culture, The British Museum houses a vast collection of world art and artifacts. It is located just a few minutes walk from Tottenham Court Road, King’s Cross Station, Euston Station, and Covent Garden.

For safety and security reasons, the British Museum has a bag-size and maximum weight policy in place. For everyone’s safety, all bags, rucksacks, packages, and personal items may be searched before entry. The British Museum advises not to bring large pieces of luggage, suitcases, or cabin bags as you can see in their guide

However, do not worry because there is a LuggageHero storage location just around the corner. You can store your bags and enjoy your stroll around the museum hassle-free. Equally amazing – admission to the museum is free. And with their daily openings from 10 h to 17.30 h and 10 h to 20.30 on Fridays, you can visit the museum on your arrival and departure day and still get on that train.
