London Eye; Left Luggage Facilities

Charged storage facilities are now in place at The London Eye as luggage and suitcases are not permitted on this iconic attraction.  Previously visitors made use of left luggage facilities at Waterloo Station although this can prove both expensive & use up valuable time during your day. The good news is that the London Eye now offers in-house storage options for guests with luggage & young families with pushchairs.  Whilst there are small charges in place for these storage facilities, they are substantially cheaper than left-luggage facilities found at train stations & free for use for those with pushchairs.
