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 travel adapters near King's Cross

On Monday at 8:20 PM, I realized my travel adapters were missing after slipping through the south entrance of King's Cross St Pancras. I was juggling a backpack, a map, and a stubborn charge, and the adapters—small, grey, and essential for keeping devices powered—slipped from a side pocket. I must have dropped them somewhere between the ticket machines and the platform stairs around Euston Road. It’s a pain when you’re trying to navigate London with limited outlets, but I’m hopeful someone picked them up or saw them and will return them through the site.

Tiny silver locket with emerald stone

I am missing a tiny silver locket pendant with a pale green emerald. It is about the size of a 50p coin and hangs on a delicate 18-inch chain; the metal has a soft brushed finish with a tiny scratch along the back. Inside the lid there is a faint initials engraving 'M.C.' that I cannot stop checking for. I last wore it yesterday around 3pm, and I am pretty sure I had it outside Covent Garden tube station, near the Apple Store on Regent Street as I stopped to check my bag. It holds a lot of sentimental value for me, and I would be grateful to get it back.

Navy blue evening gown with silver beadwork

I lost my navy blue evening gown outside the Royal Opera House on Bow Street in Covent Garden yesterday around 7:30 pm after leaving a charity gala. It's a floor-length satin gown in UK size 10, with a bateau neckline edged in silver beadwork and a detachable slim silver belt at the waist. There's a small tear in the left hem from stepping on a cobblestone, and the inner lining has a tiny monogram 'AY' stitched near the zipper. The gown was a sentimental gift from my late aunt, and I really need it back for an upcoming event. If anyone spotted it, please get in touch.

Silver Yamaha flute in blue case, initials ZA engraved

I lost my silver Yamaha flute yesterday around 3pm outside the Tate Modern on Bankside, along the South Bank near the Millennium Bridge. It's a silver Yamaha flute, model YFL-281, with a small dent near the foot joint and a blue hard case that has a white Yamaha logo and a slightly frayed strap. The lip plate is engraved with my initials 'ZA'. The case is a bit scuffed, and there's a tiny sticker that says 'University Jazz' on the interior lid. It means a lot to me—it was a gift from my grandmother and I relied on it daily for lessons. Please reach out if you've seen it; I'd be so grateful to have it back.
