Have you tried asking Westminster council?

if you decide you want a replacement for it i might be able to help you out...there's one in the alleyway behind my house that's been there for nearly 5 years. I partly dismantled it at one stage to assess the feasibility of doing something with it, but main parts are still there i.e. frame, basket carrier, basket (plastic tray thing), rims (i think) - the sturmey archer hubs would be pretty useless now - i think a lot of the smaller pieces of the hub gear and hub brake mechanisms were missing from the start.
I did hassle the royal mail to try and get them to take it away at one stage to avoid a trip to the tip, but they were not terribly interested.

Thanks both -- I'll try Westminster council and might give you a shout, Simonw, if the search comes to nothing.
I've recently had an old Pashley postbike, with the full iron chassis for the postie's basket, stolen from Hanway St between Bradley's and Hakkasan, here:

It was chained to railings and rusty as fuck, like irremediable but to the suicidally ambitious. For me, it was a long term restoration project intended to rebegin its life as a wedding present to some good friends of mine as soon as I got the cash together to have the frame dipped at this place in Finsbury Park. Didn't have space for it at home or at work, and it was such a pile that I didn't reckon anyone would take it. Anyway, they did, so if anyone's seen this bike, let me know.
Cheers.
