left luggage
Temporarily stored belongings
Left luggage is baggage temporarily stored at a railway station, airport, or similar facility while the owner is away.
The term is primarily British; Americans typically say baggage check or luggage storage.
We dropped our bags at the left luggage office and explored the city for a few hours.
