Behind an inconspicuous doorway on the main road is the TfL Lost Property office, a small, benign, clerical space where you pay a fiver to retrieve your belongings. What most people don’t get to see is beneath this room: three floors of expansive, dark warehouse space crammed to the brim with reams and reams of stuff.
