OK, I'm posting here because this has me totally stumped.
I am a (new) grad student at the London School of Economics. One day a week I want to take cello lessons in central London. It's not too hard to book a practice room and meet the teacher at the room for the lesson. The hard part is what to do with my cello during the day when I'm in classes. I plan on bringing it in to LSE from home (which changes location every month - long story - I'm doing AirBNB and housesits around the city). I leave it at LSE or wherever for the day, pick it up around 6pm, and go to my lesson.
I have emailed the university (they say no to everything), the LSE Music Society several times (no response), checked out a recording studio near Kings Cross (it was rude, very rude. They don't cater to classical musicians). I have joined the London Cello Society, which has no idea. It says most of its members just bring their cellos to their office during the day. Music schools like the Royal Academy permit storage only for their students.
My last resort is to leave the cello at a left luggage place like Charing Cross or Victoria Station, but you can imagine how I feel about leaving something like that in a bus or train station. Any ideas for safe, one day storage in central London?
