Luggage storage at Winchester?

We are planning to travel by train around the London area after our Best of Southern England tour ends in June in Bath, and we'd like to spend that first day in Winchester, and then travel on to London late in the afternoon. I've read somewhere in my research that there is no luggage storage facility at or near the train station in Winchester. There does seem to be an inn that will store luggage but it's on the outskirts of town and would involve walking about a mile out of town to drop off luggage. And then of course, walking back into town and at the end of the day, reversing the process.

Is anyone aware of someplace more centrally located that will keep our carryons for the day so we're not encumbered with them as we sight-see?

Thanks,
San

We're not returning through Bath. It will be faster to take a train directly from Winchester to London.

Hi, I am also going to travel to Winchester and I was wondering if you found a better luggage storage? Thanks

According to Winchester Tourist Information the Premier Inn at Winnall is the only left luggage. You can get pretty close to the PI from the station by catching bus 2 every 20 minutes.
That would be made cheaper by adding a 'plus bus' ticket onto your rail ticket for £3 (£1.95 for railcard holders.)

I changed our itinerary so now Winchester will be a day trip from London. Just seemed easier all around.
