Riding In London

BBBMLJ · Jul 4, 2018

I spend the day in London a lot on either a Saturday or Sunday. I normally drive my car, park at the O2 then tube into the city. I would like to ride into London and park my bike somewhere central for the day.
What I don't want to do is walk around London or go on the tube while carrying all of my bike gear.

Is there such a thing as a secure locker service in London where I could lock up 2 helmets and bike gear for the day?

Maybe a bus station or Train station? Just a guess.

No lockers. Someone might leave a bomb in there.

HEY !!!!! That's no way to talk about my Triumph

Very good point though.

There's a luggage storage place at Charing Cross Station. I've emailed an enquiry.

Thinking out of the box (oh er look at him) Maybe a nearby newsagent or petrol station (not many of those in town), give the bloke or blokette a tenner and leave your stuff behind the counter - not sure if this is an option, also you maybe able to bung a concierge in a hotel to store in their luggage room, that or balls it out giving them the impression your a check out guest. Oh and make sure you bring a couple dozen disk locks and chains - enjoy

Brilliant - Thank you

I also found this based on similar services to the link you gave me.

If I put everything I want to store in one bag e.g. a large laundry type bag with a zip, they will store it for up to 24 hours for just £6 (and it's insured while its there)

Got to agree with Ade about the security. If you're going in to central London use the train. I'm very lucky as Wycombe is only half an hour out of Marylebone on the fast services.

Unless you can find some secure parking I personally wouldn't leave a bike in London as so many bikes get nicked. The scooter scroats even carry portable battery powered angle grinders to cut the security chains off so even locking it up is no guarantee it'll be there when you get back

Keep away from London it's full of toxic fumes and people get out in the country and breath fresh air and it's free
