? RE: Heathrow left luggage area

Hi - I have a long layover in London en route to Africa. I'd like to leave a heavy bag in left luggage but it will contain a lot of expensive camera equipment. Is it safe to do this? Do you get a locker to lock it up or how does this work? Thanks (I leave Thursday.)

check www.londonbaggagecompany.com - at least they used to run the airport left-luggage - it seems there are no lockers but a manual service at a very steep price. With such expensive equipment you should look into travel baggage insurance - or maybe your home/apartment owners insurance possibly covers it even abroad.

The company is http://www.excess-baggage.com/

They also have the franchise at the London train stations and I have used their services there without problems.

Note EVERYTHING gets X-Rayed, so if you want film to survive carry it with you
