If you’re planning on a trip to watch the rugby at Twickenham soon, and you don’t have the luxury of either living round the corner, or staying in accommodation nearby; then you’ll likely have a few bags on your person.
Now you won’t want to lug these around with you all day. Especially if you’re planning on visiting a few sites before the match. Oh, and if you’re wondering where to go, or what to do in and around Twickenham before kick off; then take a look at this post I wrote on where you should go before the rugby at Twickenham.
Also, if you’re heading out for a meal afterwards, you may want a change of clothes to get into after the game, that are more appropriate for a restaurant, as opposed to a rugby stadium. On that note, you might want to have a read of this piece I wrote, in case you’re wondering what to wear if you’re going to Twickenham Stadium.
Now let’s get to it and check out these bag storage providers, who offer places to store your luggage in numerous locations across London.
Stasher.com, Luggagehero.com, Radicalstorage.com, or Usebounce.com. These are the 4 bag storage providers that you could use to store your prams, pushchairs and excess luggage, in a safe location on match day at Twickenham.
Next up I’m going to expand on each of these providers and give you a summary of their offering.
Once you’ve read this article, you’ll have enough of an overview to make an informed decision as to which bag storage provider and facility to use on match day at Twickenham.
1. Stasher.com
Stasher innovated the concept of a luggage storage network and became the 1st provider of such a facility in 2015. Stasher offers storage facilities on every continent and is present in over 400 cities across the world.
Pricing
If you want to book a storage location for your bags through Stasher, it’ll cost you £4.95 per bag for 12 hours. Bear in mind the charge is per bag and there’s also an admin fee of £1.65. And the £1.65 booking fee is also per bag. So if you have 3 bags you’re going to store, then the booking fee will be £4.95.
Each bag is covered for up to £1000 providing peace of mind against theft or damage.
Locations near or en route to Twickenham
Of all the luggage storage providers, Stasher offers the closest bag store location to the Stadium. This is at Foodland Express in Twickenham. It is just a 2-minute walk from Twickenham Station and is around a 10-minute walk from the stadium.
Better still, if you’re walking to the stadium from Twickenham station you won’t even have to make a detour to pass by Foodland Express, making it possibly the most convenient place to store your bags on match day.
It’s important to take note though that the latest time you can book to pick up your bags from Foodland Express through Stasher is 7pm. Which in my mind makes it a non starter if you’re going to a late afternoon or evening match at Twickenham.
