Public transport users in London are failing to claim thousands of lost property items handed in every week.
Transport for London (TfL) is urging passengers who accidentally leave belongings on trains and buses to check if they have been retrieved.
The transport authority moved its lost property office from South Kensington to West Ham last month to accommodate the rising number of objects being stored and to improve processing times.
TfL's first lost property office opened 90 years ago.
Items handed into TfL's lost property office include this giant Octopus
Some 6,000 items are handed over each week to the Lost Property office which is now in West Ham, east London, having moved from its traditional home in South Kensington
