London Fog Luggage Review (We Have All The Details)

Cambridge II Luggage

The Cambridge II collection is actually the only London Fog luggage that features a real carry-on. The smallest suitcase is 20″ tall, and even with wheels, it can fit in the overhead compartment. All of the luggage in this collection is made of woven houndstooth material, which is fused with EVA foam to make the suitcases even more durable and lightweight.

Previously, London Fog carry-on suitcases couldn’t really be used as carry-ons. Well, the company caught onto that as well and completely redesigned their Cambridge collection. The bulky 21″ suitcase became a sleek 20″ carry-on – they reduced its size specifically to make it conform to most airlines’ requirements for in-cabin luggage.

Now about the features. The entire Cambridge II collection boasts double spinner wheels, which will give you excellent maneuverability of your luggage.  And the telescopic wheel handle will surely help make the steering as effortless as possible.

All three suitcases feature a single packing compartment which is expandable for additional packing capacity. They have double dividers inside the packing compartments, with pockets on both sides! And on the front panel of the suitcase features a large zippered pocket, as well as a couple of slip pockets for your shoes. However, these pockets are pretty small – they can fit smaller shoes easily, but anything over a US9 (Men’s) won’t fit that well.

You can get two extra inches of packing space if you decide to expand your suitcase. And London Fog was kind enough to mark their expansion zippers, so you will easily differentiate between them and the ones that open the main compartment.

You can choose between Olive and Black/White, but both are very light. And, for some reason they attract dirt like magnets, so you can expect your suitcase to get filthy even after one trip. But, getting a sleek suitcase cover would totally make that issue go away, and it is something to consider.

You can check out the exact dimensions of all three suitcases, their weights, and prices below.

Kensington Luggage

The Kensington collection from London Fog also features three traditional suitcases. You can choose between two colors – Blue Tan Plaid and Bronze, both of which are made from the same material and look pretty good. The fabric used in these suitcases was fused with EVA foam to improve the durability and sturdiness of the luggage, just like we saw in the Cambridge II collection.

Compared to the Cambridge II, these suitcases are generally lighter. They also feature an additional external zippered pocket, which allows for slightly better organization. However, the smallest suitcase in this collection is 21 inches tall without the wheels, and it’s a gamble whether or not you will be able to bring it inside the cabin. Many reviews said that they were forced to check the bag because it is over 23 inches tall with its wheels.

Every Kensington spinner comes with four single spinner wheels and can be expanded by two additional inches.

All luggage is also fully lined inside, with London Fog signature lining. And you will get a 3-1-1 removable toiletry bag with the suitcase, which adds to its value.  

What about the packing compartment? Well, it is pretty spacious and it is equipped with two tie-down straps that are supposed to hold your luggage in place. There aren’t any pockets inside the compartment itself, but there is a large zippered pocket on the front panel of the suitcase. And two small slip pockets for your shoes, which you can use for pretty much anything you want.

Kingsbury Luggage

This is the only London Fog collection that features hard shells. And it is also their only collection that features just suitcases and no additional duffel or garment bags. Kingsbury luggage is made of lightweight polycarbonate, and it is available in two colors: Titanium and Coffee. I have to say that I prefer the steel grey of the Titanium version.

The Kingsbury luggage features two fully lined packing compartments, as you would expect in a hard shell. One side is equipped with elastic tie-down straps, while the other features a divider that will keep all of your clothes in place. The downside of the suitcases is that there are no pockets inside. And since these are hard sides, they also don’t have any external pockets, which means that it will be somewhat difficult to stay organized when packing.

They have double spinner wheels, a telescopic wheel handle that locks into place, and an expandable capacity. And they also have an attractive price tag for polycarbonate luggage – the largest Kingsbury suitcase costs just over $100, which is definitely worth it.

The smallest piece of luggage in this collection is dubbed a carry-on or overnight bag, but I couldn’t find its dimensions with wheels. I did however notice when going through the reviews, that many people stated they were able to bring this suitcase inside the cabin, and that it fit perfectly in the overhead compartment.  

A general issue with hard side luggage (and polycarbonate in particular) is that the shell gets scratched easily. But, London Fog included a smart plaid design of the shell with grain finish on these suitcases. The design improves the scratch-resistance of the suitcase, so it doesn’t look worn and torn after just one flight.

The wheel handle is not as sturdy as it should be. It is pretty much the only thing people didn’t like about this suitcase, so be sure to be gentle with it. And at least it can be adjusted to several different heights, so everyone can get it to fit them perfectly!

Knightsbridge Luggage

The London Fog Knightsbridge collection features three stunning softshell suitcases. At first glance, they look extremely similar to the Kensington collection, but there is one thing that sets these particular suitcases apart from the others. They are the lightest luggage London Fog has to offer, with the 29″ suitcases weighing less than a Kensington 25″. Now we’ll talk about their features.

The smallest suitcase is 23 inches tall with wheels. American Airlines will accept inside the cabin without an issue, but other airlines might not. Of course, that is going to depend on how crowded the plane is, and how big their overhead compartments generally are.

The Knightsbridge suitcases all feature single spinner wheels, a telescopic wheel handle, and three carry handles. And you also get one large external pocket, which is great for any items you want to have handy at the airport.

The packing compartment of this luggage is completely lined with beautiful blue London Fog lining. And the capacity of all three of these suitcases is expandable by two inches, which will come in handy if you like to do some shopping while you are abroad. But, you should have plenty of space to pack even without expanding the bag.

There are two compression straps inside that will hold all your clothes in place and ensure that it doesn’t get jumbled. And you also get a 3-1-1 toiletry bag along with your suitcase, which not only adds to the value of the bag but also helps with organization. It also comes with a large zippered pocket on the front panel and two slip pockets for shoes.

Overall, this suitcase is a great choice if you are looking to get the lightest one. Just keep in mind that the plaid design is also really light, and it can get dirty very quickly. I would suggest you go for the solid blue one – it is darker, and even if gets dirty, it will not be as obvious.

Wheeled Garment Bags

Do you often travel for business and therefore need to carry a lot of clothing that can’t get wrinkled? Then consider getting a garment bag. It is designed to hold clothing on hangers, which you have to transport very carefully – like suits! London Fog currently offers two garment bags; one is from the Kensington collection and the other one is from the Cambridge II collection.

So, the actual height of the bag when closed is 22 inches. But, it opens up like a book, and when it is fully opened it is 44 inches tall. Anyway, I will show you a photo of what the bag looks like when it’s open, so you’ll get the idea.

Both the Cambridge II and the Kensington garment bags have in-line skate wheels and a telescopic wheel handle. They also look very much alike inside – they feature the main compartment for your hanging garments with a few slip pockets for your shoes and a fold-down flap with a few separate zippered pockets and a hook for a hanger. So, you can fit several hanging garments inside each of these London Fog bags.

There is a slight difference in the weight of the bags – the Cambridge II one is about a pound lighter even though it is half an inch wider. And it also has one additional external pocket – both bags have a zippered external pocket, but the Cambridge II bag also has an external slip pocket. This is great for any items you want to have handy at the airport – passport and boarding pass are the first things that come to mind.

You can check out their basic specs and prices below.

Under The Seat Bags And Duffels

Now we are going to check out a few of London Fog’s smaller carry-ons. These are great for people who are traveling with a large checked bag and need something small and convenient to bring inside the cabin, but a carry-on suitcase is too much.

As you can see, they are pretty much the same on paper. They are all the exact same size, and the weight difference is so small that it’s negligible. And like their name says, all of these bags are designed to comfortably fit under your airplane seat. But, there is one big feature that sets apart the Cambridge II under seat bag from the others – double spinner wheels. The other two bags have in-line skate wheels, and you have to tilt the bag to get the wheels rolling.

Fortunately, the Cambridge II bag goes a step further and features those awesome wheels that can turn 360 degrees each, which when combined with the telescopic wheel handle give you superb maneuverability of your luggage. And this bag also features a luggage strap that allows you to put it on top of your larger suitcase and secure it to the handle.

The other features are the same on all three bags. They have a padded tablet compartment and multiple zippered pockets for easy organization. There are also a few waterproof pockets, which are perfect for toiletries or wet garments.

All three bags also have the same amount of external pockets – two on the sides and two on the front. The only thing that differs is the position of the front pockets – the one on the Cambridge II bag is somewhat hidden, while the ones on the other two bags are not.

Kensington Wheeled Club Bag

And there is one more bag to mention – the Kensington Wheeled Club Bag. It is small, stylish, and fits into most airlines’ overhead compartments and you can wheel it around the airport! Check out its specs and price below.

This bag is great for shorter trips where you don’t really need to bring a suitcase. It’s large enough to fit a few days worth of clothes inside it, and it is small enough to be a carry-on bag. There isn’t much to say about this particular bag – it is fully lined inside and has one zippered pocket. The wheels and the telescopic handle are the best things about it!
