A poste restante, or general delivery, service in Japan started a "branch" in central London on Tuesday, accepting letters addressed to anyone or anything.

The original "Missing Post Office" is located on the small island of Awashima in the Seto Inland Sea and has received more than 10,000 letters so far.

The office receives and displays letters and any other correspondence sent from across the country to people whose whereabouts is unknown or even those who have passed away and are considered as departed to another world.
