Victoria station luggage storage

In '02 I left my luggage at the station for a fee.

I was just on the Trip Advisor site and a disgruntled reviewer whose hotel refused to keep luggage at reception after checkout, said the London train stations no longer store luggage due to security reasons. Is this true for Victoria Station?

This site seems to say you can store baggage: http://www.excess-baggage.com/contact.php

In December 2005 i visited all main train stations in London and all had luggage storage - at about 5 or 6 quid per bag not cheap however. Victoria's baggage store was definitely open then. so unless things have suddenly changed it should be in operation. Hotels obviously don't always have the correct info on such things.

The Excess Baggage Company still has left luggage offices at the main London stations. Bags are passed through a scanner.

Just another example that trip advisor isn't worth the paper it's written on.

Anybody can write anything - doesn't make it so . . . .
