Lost Property Office handles property found on TfL services. These include London Buses, London Underground, London Overground, TfL Rail, Docklands Light Railway, Black Cab taxi, Victoria Coach Station, Emirates Air Line, London Transport Museum, TfL buildings and items handed in directly to the LPO.
Please note items found on Trams are held at the Tramlink Shop in Croydon and are not included in these figures.
Below are the number of single debit / credit cards that were handed in to TfL and processed at the TfL Lost Property Office. No data is held at the Lost Property Office concerning debit / credit cards that were claimed locally and we do not keep a record of the type of card or organisation. Debit and credit cards that are handed in by themselves are disposed of and debit and credit cards that are handed in along with other property are kept stored in a secure location.
