I don't know if I posted this in the right place, if not, I apologize

My husband has his interview this coming friday :dance: and we are wanting to know if there is anyplace very close to the embassy that has lockers or something along that line where he can safetly depoist his mobile phone while he is having the interview and then get it back afterwards as he is not allowed to bring it in the embassy?

He's not familiar with London, and I am having a bit of a problem finding a place online.

Thanks in advance

Helen

I added Gould's Pharmacy to the Map of Embassy, Hotels, Medical, and place to leave your phone. You can zoom and move the map to better see where it is, since the blob covers the whole block when you first open the map.
