Site: Coates & Telemark (2 memorials)

NW1, Baker Street, Chiltern Court

Telemark on the left, Coates on the right.

At the far right of our picture you can see London Transport's Lost Property Office. Useful to know where this is, but also worth checking out their window display. On our visit they had a display of lost (and not reclaimed) technology over the years - included some big phones. 

2023 October: If you arrive here hoping to find your lost property - you will be disappointed - the Lost Property Office has moved. But don't worry, it's not lost. Londonist reported that "Since 2019, the office has been in a temporary location in Kensington, but now it's moving to a new site next to West Ham Bus Garage."
