If you have a large bag with you, stewards will direct you to the bag drop facility before you enter the security search point. You will not lose your place in the queue, but it may increase your queuing time. Capacity is limited, and there is no guarantee that there will be space at the facility. Waiting for bag storage space to become available will increase your queuing time. The image below shows the location of the bag drop facility, in Archbishop’s Park on the south bank of the River Thames. It also shows the main queue route and the queue route you will follow if you need to use the bag drop facility. You can also view or download a map of the full queue route (PDF, 3.07MB). When you deposit an item at the bag drop facility, you will be given a bag drop wristband. A corresponding tag will be placed on your item so you can collect it after exiting the Palace of Westminster. Items that you wish to deposit at the bag drop will be subject to an airport-style scan, and may be refused for safety, size or security reasons. It will be at the discretion of staff whether to accept your bags or other items. Illegal items will be dealt with by the police. If you leave a bag in the bag drop you must collect it immediately after exiting the Lying-in-State. Remember to keep hold of your wristband, as you will need it to collect your item. Follow the exit signs to Westminster Bridge and then Archbishop’s Park. All items are left at your own risk. Uncollected items may be disposed of.
