I've used this post office for 30 years. It is brilliant - despite the shenanigans of Royal Mail…read moreover the years making it a tough franchise to run. I've never had a problem each person running it is always super helpful and I really really appreciate having a local PO. It''s a must. So yes it gets busy - what post office doesn't? I manage the times I go there - after 4.30 seems very busy!

On entering the post office it was a bit of a mess (bags and boxes on the floor but not in the way)…read moreand the solo guy behind the counter was on the phone. However he did signal to me that he wouldn't be long. The service was prompt and thankfully there wasn't a queue. A pleasant enough experience and one that hasn't left any scares. Why not five stars I hear you cry, because I don't wait for anything.

Ok, this is a post office, not much more to say about it…read more I seem to spend a lot of money in here sending faxes here and there - it's not any cheaper than your regular internet/fax service joint, but it's close to my house and reliable. The post office shares the space with a newsagent which does all the usuals - good selection of mags and newspapers - in addition they will take passport photos for you here for a fiver. Pretty handy.

This is a small post office in the village of Kennington, just outside the City of Oxford. The shop…read moreis quite small but does sell a range of other goodies as well. They have a large range of stationery, greetings cards and stamps. It is a traditional post office which still has the security glass screens which also makes it more private, especially when withdrawing cash. There are a few parking spaces outside which is very handy as a lot of parking in Kennington is for residents only. The staff are always very helpful and the shop is clean and tidy.

I go here all the time to send off packages, letters, hot air balloons and cruise ships. It's…read moremostly on behalf of my internship and sometimes I come loaded down with many letters, I can't carry them all. I have to put packages in my pockets, stamps on my forehead, letters in my socks. The staff is generally quite tolerant of my myriad requests. They sometimes prefer to talk amongst themselves, but are generally quite friendly. I think it must be a family that runs it. They're all Indian and, well, I quite wish they'd put samosas through the window with my change and receipts. I'll have to inquire further into that possibility. The post office is also attached to a convenience store - the first combination of such I have EVER seen! It's an incredible concept. Send a letter. Buy a mop. Send a package. Buy some cereal. In fact, if you know someone who really loves Cocoa Puffs, you could buy a box, write their name over the front, stamp it and send it off all underneath the same roof. AMAZING! The people that go to this post office are sometimes a hoot to watch. I mean any man who sings and wears purple lamee pants is a winner in my book of interesting folk.

Not equipped with any additional, non-relevant pieces of paper, I was sent on my way again.
