My husband and I have officially booked a 10-day trip starting in London, then Paris and then Barcelona to celebrate our 5th anniversary. Neither of us have been to Europe and want to see as much of it as possible.. I found easyjet.com and booked some really cheap flights to all the stops we are wanting to make.

So, with most of the flights, I picked times where we could immediately check into our hotels and not have to worry about dragging our luggage with us... But the actual arrival into London (from the US) is around 10am. I've requested early check-in at our hotel (near Regent's Park) but wanted to have a back up plan in case we can't check in until 3pm.

Is there anything worth doing/visiting with our luggage (we will be sharing one semi-large rolling suitcase and both of us will carry backpacks)? We're only there for 3 days and I don't want to waste a whole day waiting to check into our hotel.

Any other travel tips for London, Paris or Barcelona would be much appreciated!! Thanks!

I meant to tag this in England, not France.. I can't figure out how to change it. Sorry about that!

You just leave your bags at the hotel. They'll look after them for you.

Thee are temporary storage areas in London. The price is high £6 per piece of luggage is memory serves me right.

There's no reason to pay when the hotel will handle it for free.

Exactly - the hotel will have a luggage room where you can store your bags if your room isn't ready.

Ah.. that makes a little more sense. Thank you!
