Everything found at London Gatwick is handed to our lost property office, operated by Excess Baggage Company

Contacting lost property

Items reported as lost are logged on a database at lostproperty.org. It can take 24 to 48 hours for a found item to be registered on the database. We keep all found items for up to three months.

To log an item that has been lost in the terminal go to lostproperty.org. We will then start the process of matching an item to the description you have provided. The more detail you give about your item, the easier this is for us. If we find a match, we will contact you and give you a reference number so that you can arrange to collect your item. We can also post your item directly to you if that is more convenient. 

Please note, there is a fee to reclaim your item. This covers the administrative process and storage of the item.
