Default Looking for a convenient station with luggage lockers.

Hi there,

I've got a friend arriving at Heathrow Airport in a week, and he's
going to be staying at my place. The problem is that he's arriving in
the morning that day, while I myself won't be flying back in via
Gatwick till later that evening. The plan is that he's going to
explore London on his own, and that we'll meet up together later on
and take a train to where I live (Uxbridge-ish).
He's going to be bringing luggage along, and will be travelling into
London on the tube. I was looking for a convenient station (no
changing trains and somewhere in central London if possible) for him
to leave his luggage, that is on or close to our route back home.


Any other suggestions? King's Cross would be a bit far out but I
suppose that since it's a big national rail station it will definitely
have lockers.


Kings Cross would be my other suggestion. However the issue here is that
the station is very complex and busy - and that's just the LU side. With
there being 3 NR stations of which 2 have "Kings Cross" in their title I
imagine it might be a bit much to expect a completely new visitor to
London to cope with it all.
