The Best Travel Bags for London Commuters
There’s no such thing as an average London commute.
One morning it’s a packed Tube, the next it’s a bike across the city, a walk to the office or a dash for a train with a boiling hot coffee in one hand and your phone in the other. Whatever your route looks like, the right commuter bag can make getting from A to B a whole lot easier and with Cotopaxi - a lot less boring!
At Cotopaxi, we think your everyday commute deserves a little more colour.
Whether you need space for your laptop, gym kit and lunch or you’re looking for something lightweight for travelling across the city, these are some of our favourite travel bags and day packs for commuting.
So…what makes a good commuter bag?
The best commuter backpack is one you barely have to think about.
For travelling around London, look for a bag that's comfortable to carry, easy to organise and spacious enough for everything you need without becoming bulky on a busy train.
A few things that are worth considering when looking for the perfect bag:
Laptop storage - A dedicated laptop sleeve makes travelling with your tech so much easier.
Everyday organisation - Separate pockets for chargers, headphones, keys, your water bottle and the other things that somehow disappear to the bottom of your bag.
Comfort - Particularly important if walking or cycling makes up part of your commute.
The right size - Enough room for your working day, without feeling oversized when you're squeezing onto the tube.
Versatility - London plans have a habit of changing. A good commute bag should be just as useful for after-work plans and weekends away.
And, of course, there's no rule saying a practical commuter backpack has to be boring.

Why commute in Del Dia?
Grey pavement. Grey platforms. Grey Monday morning.
Your bag doesn't have to follow the norm.
Every Cotopaxi Del Día pack is one-of-a-kind, with colour combinations created from repurposed leftover fabrics that might otherwise have gone to waste. That means the exact colour combination you receive will always be unique.
So while thousands of people might be making the same journey into London, your bag doesn't have to look like everybody else's.
