Peek Inside The London Underground Lost Property Office
Monday 1st February 2016
A prosthetic leg and a life-sized Spider-Man doll are just some of the more unusual objects left on London's tubes and buses.
More than 300-thousand items were taken to lost property in the last year. The most common things are wallets and umbrellas - with around 150 mobile phones handed in every day.
Last year 22% of the 302,714 items handed in were returned to their rightful owners including a brown envelope containing £15,000 and an urn of ashes that had been kept by workers at the lost property office for almost seven years.
