Thames Path Baggage Service
Move My Bags along the Thames Path
Thames Path Baggage Service
There’s no need to carry a heavy pack during the day. Our Thames Path baggage service takes the weight off your shoulders so that you can enjoy the walk so much more and still look fabulous in the evenings. We can move your bags each day as you walk the Thames Path.
We can move your luggage even if you are not booking accommodation through us. Just email us your itinerary and we will do the rest. Bags can be picked up and dropped off from anywhere close to the Thames. Note that our season runs from April 1 to the end of October.
What you should know
Bags are picked up from 9am and are dropped off before 4pm
We send you text messages once the bags are dropped off. That gives you peace of mind whilst walking.
We charge £25 for the first bag and a further £5 for each additional bag. This is per move. Bags should be no more than 20kg. There is also a charge of £12.50 per booking, regardless of how many days or how many bags the booking is.
We can also pick up and drop off on travel days. For instance, if you were to arrive in Oxford and plan to walk that day, we will meet you to collect your bags and then deliver it to your hotel later that day. Likewise we can deliver your bags to you in person at a station. There is an additional charge equivalent to one transfer for this “meet and greet” service. So, for instance, if you are party of 2, the charge will be £30 plus an additional £30 for the “meet and greet” service. A party of 3 will be charged £35 plus an additional £35 for the “meet and greet” service.
We can also offer bag storage, particularly popular with walkers from Australia and New Zealand who might be taking an extended vacation. If you have a bag that you don’t need transporting every day, we can collect it, store it, and return it to you. The transfer at the beginning and end is charged per the rates above. The storage is charged at £5 per bag per day.
London: We do pick up and drop off in London. However, traffic moves so slowly here that we have to charge more to cover our time and fuel. Additionally, we incur local government fees for driving in London. We therefore charge an additional £15 for the first bag and a further £5 for each additional bag. For tariff purposes, London starts immediately downstream of Kew and extends all the way to Woolwich.
We no longer take deposits. But we ask for payment in full one month before the start of your walk. All cancellations made prior to the start of the walk (but after payment) will be refunded in full minus a £25 administration fee. For cancellations made during the walk, we will roll over any unused spend minus a £25 administration fee for use on a later walk. We believe this is a much more generous cancellation policy than our competitor so, if comparing prices, do check this.
If you need anything extra dropping off with your bags (batteries, phone charger, spare socks, blister pack), just let us know. We are here to help!
