Depends on the time of day and whether you get stuck behind a tourist party or not. Can be 10 minutes can be an hour.

Have used it at Euston several times.
£9 a time, no queuing all very quick and easy.

it used to be the case that it was quicker to walk to St Pancras and leave it there rather than Kings Cross but I'm not sure whether that's still the case since Kings Cross was refurbished.

There is one at Victoria COACH station. It costs around £8 to use (minimum) and they scan your bags for the presence of bombs (remember to bring one )
No more than 5 minutes queue.
If your bags are not too large, an alternative is to use the lockers at the British Library on Euston Road, which cost £1. But you need to be a member.

Left Luggage (London)
I've never used one of these and filed the idea under my brain along with steam trains and porters who bring your luggage onto the train for you. But it seems this is still a modern and relatively inexpensive option... is it as smooth and simple as it sounds or do you need to set aside an hour to queue? If you want to pop out to a nice restaurant in between train/flight connections, is it worth it?Tags: None
