I can't find a suitable tag for the "EuroDespatch Centre" at St Pancras International. I made one up, but it doesn't render

There seems to be no established tag for a baggage drop yet. I looked at a few airports and also searched on taginfo for baggage and luggage but nothing appropriate turned up. This means you can introduce your own tag. However make sure the spelling is similar to other well established tags. Instead of amenity=Baggage_Checkin you should use amenity=baggage_checkin (everything in lower case, except for names).

Don't worry if your POI won't render on the main map. The renderer's stylesheet doesn't know your newly introduced tag. Additionally we cannot render everything on the main map or it will become too cluttered. Yet your POI is not lost. It is contained in OSM's database an can be used by everyone who is aware of your tag.

Hi is it possible that the renderer doesn’t know or recognize your creation or work ? It looks to me that the tags are readable isn’t. ? Basic rule is still don’t tag for the renderer. Or look here and make a selection. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Canadian_Stores.
