Seoul Station is South Korea's main railway hub. It is served by Seoul Metro Lines 1 and 4, the Gyeongui-Jungang Line (KORAIL), and the Airport Railroad Express (AREX) — which provides a direct link to Incheon International Airport in about 43 minutes.
As the terminus for KTX high-speed rail to Busan, Daegu, and beyond, Seoul Station is a natural staging point for day trips or onward travel. Coin lockers are distributed across multiple locations throughout the station — mostly outside the subway fare gates, along transit corridors and near the KTX concourse, making them accessible regardless of which line you're using.
Steps away, the Old Seoul Station building (built 1925, a designated cultural landmark) stands as a reminder of the city's railway history. Nearby highlights include Namdaemun Market (5 min walk), Seoullo 7017 sky garden (adjacent), and Myeong-dong shopping street (10 min walk).
The green markers on our map indicate lockers inside the fare gates; blue markers are outside and freely accessible. Lockers are near Exit 1, between Exits 2 and 3, and near Exits 11 & 14 — the live list above shows which bank has space right now.
