Lost something on public transport?

How to track down an item left on a bus, train, tram, or taxi by contacting the right transport operator.

Items left on buses, trains, trams, and taxis around London are usually handed in to the operator's lost property team — the trick is contacting the right one quickly.

  1. Identify the operator. Note the route, line, or company and the rough time. Each operator runs its own lost property process.
  2. Submit a lost property report. Use the operator's online form or phone line as soon as possible; recovered items are logged against your description.
  3. For taxis and rideshare, contact the driver or company directly through your booking or app receipt.
  4. Keep your reference. Save any report number so you can chase it up.
  5. Post a listing. Add a listing for London in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

LOST: Skirts in London, London, United Kingdom

At around 2:45 p.m. yesterday, I realized my skirts were missing outside King's Cross Station after a quick coffee run. I must have left them on a bench in the station concourse while juggling my tote and umbrella. Those skirts are part of my work rotation, and I’ve got a big presentation on Thursday; I’m stressed about looking unprepared. I’ve retraced my steps along Euston Road and into the station, but nothing turned up. If anyone saw them around the entrance to the station or on the pavement by the taxi rank, I’d be grateful for a heads-up through the site.

Lost leashes near Baker Street, London

I lost my two dog leashes on Baker Street at 7:20 PM last Friday. The wind whipped down the street and I fumbled to keep hold of the dogs as we crossed near the taxi rank by the Sherlock statue, and both leashes slipped from my grip. One leash is blue nylon with a small silver buckle; the other is red with a chipped clip. They’re not valuable, just practical, but they’re the ones I reach for on every winter walk to calm my anxious terrier. I’ve retraced my steps past the café and the newsagent, and I hope someone picked them up and kept them safe till I can collect them.

SanDisk SD card with photos in protective case lost E

SanDisk SD card with photos in protective case

A Sandisk brand SD card, 16 or 32 GB (I don't remember exactly, sorry), in a small, transparent plastic protective case. It's full of photos, badgers and red spiders at first, but also, and especially, of Shetland birds, which are incredibly valuable to me; I'm doing everything I can to recover them...
