A 3 Hour Luggage Storage Dilemna
 
Would anyone know where luggage can be stored, somewhere near Convent Garden, for a few hours? Our apartment's reception claims they are short on space, therefore we have nowhere to store our things for the 3 or so hours we'll have before 3:00 check-in. Our flight arrives at LHR at 10:00 am on a Sunday morning.
I've considered the idea of renting the apartment the day before we arrive, but it will cost L125. A little too much for my budget for that small amount of time.
Planning on taking underground from LHR.

Easy - Charing Cross station has left luggage. . . Is very close to Covent Garden

was posting the same time as gh21 . . the other stations on his list don't make as much sense for the Covent Garden area

From Heathrow:

Piccadilly Line to Hammersmith, walk four paces across platform for the eastbound District Line to Embankment. Walk up Villiers St 5-10 minutes to Charing Cross mainline station (don't bother trying to get to Charing Cross tube station for this journey, it's more complicated and inconvenient if you have luggage).

Perfect, as our apartment is on Villiers. Charing Cross will work for sure! Thank You. Thanks for the directions, too.
