Just wanted to point out to fellow travellers that although the British Museum is free to get in you still have to negotiate a non-user friendly website to obtain entry tickets. What was most annoyi… Full review by monkeyfeet155
I have a boking on Tuesday at 12.20. I'd like to know if possible to let/leave my luggage at the garderobe. I mention that is a small luggage of 40X40X20 cm. Thank you for your answer.

I don't recall anyone having luggage standing in line near me, but From the museum website on "facilities" (see below). Honestly, leaving in a hotel check might be better if possible, but it says any luggage with wheels is not allowed. Visitor and Member cloakroom Opening hours: 11.00–17.00 (20.30 on Fridays). Last deposits are one hour before closing time. Please collect items 30 minutes before closing time. The cloakroom can be found by turning left immediately after passing through the Main entrance to the Museum.

If we buy the tickets at British Museum for the Persia exhibit, do we need to reserve general admission tickets as well

If you’ve got exhibition tickets, you join a different queue outside, so I don’t believe you need general admission tickets too to get in! If you’re worried about it, it’s free to reserve general admission so you can do that on top of your exhibition ticket to be safe. Aside from during Covid, I’ve never been asked for my general admission ticket so I wouldn’t worry too much :)
