Cloakroom

A cloakroom, known as a coatroom and checkroom in North America, is a room for people to hang their coats, cloaks, canes, umbrellas, hats, or other outerwear when they enter a building.

Cloakrooms are typically found inside large buildings, such as gymnasiums, schools, churches or meeting halls.

Coat checks are often found at the entrances to nightclubs, theaters, concert halls, larger restaurants, or museums.

This often suits day traders or pilgrims coming from smaller towns to larger cities and people waiting for a changeover to another train.

Cloak rooms enable passengers to avoid carrying their luggage through the city while they conduct their business or tourism.
