Cheaper than left-luggage storage
Our Southwark storage centre is a taxi, car or bus ride away from London City Airport and can often work out much cheaper alternative than any on-site left-luggage services that may be available.
For example*: If you’re a family with 4 bags to store for 5 days - the typical cost of leaving luggage at major London transport hubs can be as much as £8 per bag per day - and five days could easily cost well over £100.
ABC Selfstore lockers - which will take all 4 bags and more - start at less than £2 a day. That could save you £100 on that 5 day stay with 4 bags! If you have more bags or are staying longer then the savings could be even greater.
* Savings quoted are for illustrative purposes and were representative at the time of writing. ABC locker prices vary according to locker size, store location and seasonal demand.

About London City Airport
Known as London City Airport, this is a single-runway location used due to its closeness to the financial district. The airport was built in 1986, and finally opened in May 1987 after many years of debate about the suitability of the site. The team who had originally suggested building a site for airplanes in the area, part of the London Docklands Development Corporation, created their proposal in 1981, and a year later an aircraft was landed in the West India Docks to prove that the area was suitable and safe. Many local residents also supported the development, although the Greater London Council were opposed. In early 1896 Prince Charles helped to lay the foundation stone as construction began.
The early flights were restricted to a few nearby locations, including Portsmouth, Amsterdam and Paris. Since the early runway was so short, only small and flexible airplanes could be landed in London City Airport. Realising that the airport needed a longer runway, the owners applied for an extension less than two years after City opened. By 1995 the airport was handling around 250,000 passengers, and larger jet aircraft could now land comfortably on the runway. By the turn of the century over one and a half million visitors were using the airport every year.
In more recent years, the owners of London City Airport have developed an expansion plan to allow even more people to travel to the City. They began by creating a link between the airport and London's expansive rail network, allowing passengers to travel directly to the city. Fast rail links for the City, Canary Wharf and Parliament encouraged further use by business and political travellers, and the airport started to serve more than 2 million customers each year.
Due to its proximity to domestic estates, the airport has to abide by severe noise restriction limits, which has again restricted the number of planes that could use the runway. It was not until 2009 that the first transatlantic flights used London City Airport runway, with twice-daily flights to and from New York. These trips were made possible by the development of the Airbus A318, the smallest transatlantic airliner currently in operation. The airport is most often used during the winter months, both to accommodate the needs of larger airports that are struggling with severe weather, and also because of the ski-resort destinations that are serviced by London City Airport during this period.
