For future reference for anyone in 2019 wanting to know: I visited yesterday and had a cabin sized suitcase with me. I didn't think my suitcase would fit but it did with room left for a few carrier bags I had also. I paid £1 at the cash desk for a token (you get to keep this so if you return again, you don't need to pay for a locker again) We were also allowed to leave our bags in the lockers whilst we went off and did other things at Margate which was so great as it was really hot and the idea of lugging around a suitcase was not what I had in mind for a weekend by the sea!
