Weirdest Tube Lost Property
Love it or loathe it (or a bit of both, depending on how the day has been), the Tube is an integral part of London life and we probably couldn’t function without it. According to TfL, around 1.3 billion people use the service every year, which may account for the sheer bizarreness of some of the items that can be found in lost property. With that many people passing through, there’s bound to be someone carrying something odd…
For a little light relief this morning, here are a few of the most peculiar forgotten items discovered on the Tube.

- A lollipop lady/man’s lollipop
- A gorilla costume sporting a fetching Hawaiian shirt
