Inside Europe's Biggest Lost Property Warehouse: Unclaimed Treasures and Unexpected Finds

Transport for London manages Europe's largest lost property warehouse, housing 6,000 items weekly, including unusual finds like a bag of cooked frogs and ashes. While only one-fifth of items are reclaimed, everything is meticulously sorted, with unclaimed goods eventually auctioned, donated, or returned to owners.

Transport for London's lost property warehouse receives an astonishing 6,000 items per week, ranging from mobile phones to peculiar finds like cooked frogs and urns of ashes.

This massive warehouse, just shy of a football pitch in size, holds the title of the biggest lost property office in Europe and employs 45 dedicated staff members.

Items not reclaimed after three months are auctioned or donated, with sports gear given to schools and toys to children's charities at Christmas.
