As the number of Post Offices are shrinking all the time, it is reassuring to know that this one in…read moreGrove Park is still standing. They are really polite and helpful in the Post Office. They are better than many of the other Post Offices I use. The only fault I have with them is that their letter box is actually across the main road from them rather than immediately outside their shop. I think I will forgive them for that, because I am just grateful that there is still a Post Office in Grove Park and I pray that it doesn't get shut down!

It depends on whom you encounter at the counter, really. There's one gentleman who is terribly…read morefriendly and engaging; it's always a pleasure to be in his line. There's another man (sans beard and dastar) who has a rather off-putting vibe like he'd rather be anywhere but at the post office, and whose 'help' has been really more of a hindrance. Want to send a family photo with text written on the back in an envelope to the states? Well, that will cost you at least one pound more, or so he told me. Sending a photo costs more than scribbling a note on a piece of paper, for some reason. I think he claimed it had something to do with 'heightened security' measures, or some such rot. And if I had sent a postcard with scribbles on the back in the envelope instead? Well, that doesn't cost more than the usual letter postage. Hmm. The shop itself is massive with the usual greeting cards, soft drinks, stationary and packaging, magazines, and Union Jack-touristy-Jubilee rot. The photo booth, last time I went in, was on the fritz. Meh. A 'Bi-gishu' hawker in red vest usually 'greets' you out front by the post box. Woot.

This is the best post office I have ever had the pleasure of visiting. The staff are always…read morefriendly, have a welcoming smile and a char to go with it. Plus it's open on a saturday :)

Yes, it's a post office, but this one as one great feature for a suburban post-office - it's open…read moreuntil 2:30pm on a Saturday! This means that if you have a commintment on a Saturday morning, and can't get to most post offices before they close, then this one's stil an option. Also, there's rarely a queue (on any day at any time), so it's great for just popping into at lunchtime etc.

This post office in Chislehurst is well located on the High Street. It is very easy to find. There…read moreis parking nearby so you do not need to worry about to looking for the traffic attendant. The actual post office is very cosy when you go inside. There is a little sweet shop inside so after you are done using the facilities you can pick your self up a little treat. They offer all the services that all normal post offices offer, without being based inside a W H Smith store, which is really very good if you do not fancy going to Bromley.

This Post Office is the one I use most often, simply because I rarely encounter any queues here. I…read moream loath to say it in writing because that may mean it is next on the list for the chop, but I find it wonderful! There are two service windows here, and the counter staff are very friendly and helpful. I think the longest I have ever had to wait for service is about two minutes. Unfortunately because this isn't a main post office you can't get certain services here, like renewing car tax for example, but I find it extremely handy for most common transactions. The post office is at the back of a shop, so you can also buy your envelopes, cards and wrapping paper here too as well as groceries.

New woman owner is so rude (constantly interrupts and impossible to finish a sentence -…read more#customerserviceFAIL!), doesn't know what she's doing (often seen her sending customers away - including myself - for not having a logo on a returns label/other ridiculous reasons ... no such problems at High Street branch/before this branch relocated), massively slow (she always looks confused!) - no urgency to anything even with huge queues ... today she defaced my parcel by scribbling all over my name & address without my permission. She said it would confuse the postmen (errr ... it said "FROM" on it) and then wanted to refuse to let me send it at all because the address label wasn't centred on the parcel! At Xmas she passes items back to customers and makes everyone put their own stamps on (hugely confusing, especially if sending numerous parcels to different countries) ... jobsworth and clearly a bit lacking in grey matter!
