This is a classic little post office that sell precisely everything that you want it to. By no means as busy as the post office in the centre of town, this is a great one to pop into if you want to avoid the queues and spend your afternoon doing something productive instead. There is something British and charming about any post office, I think. In this age we live in swiftly moving towards a paperless society, then maybe one day these premises will, all around the country, become obsolete.

We cannot let this happen, we must support our local establishments. Without the postal system, how would housewives have affairs? How would charities give you free pens?

This Post Office is an area with a few shops, a chemist, a vets, a post office, a post box, bus…read morestops - but from experience busses that are the best is the 52 or the 52a. They tend to have a long gap in between the time of arrival for each bus that arrives here. You can go from there and change in Albany RD or Wellfield if you should need to. It is about fifteen minutes up to half an hour from town and even less from the Penylan area and Albany RD area. You can walk to it from Penylan area, but it does take 50 minutes. I recommend to all if you stay near to the area. The Post Office is useful if you do not want to treck all the way into town to post your parcel or letter.

I normally walk to the post office each week and buy my magazines and by the till they have small bags of penny sweets for 50p which I normally buy for my girls. Near the post office section there is an atm machine and a variety of stationary, birthday cards and a small selection of toys. The staff are all really friendly and often stop to chat to me. In the window of the shop they often have small notices from people that are selling things or have small jobs that they need doing so I always find mysef reading these.

I avoid the post office in the city centre for a variety of reasons, mainly because I don't want to…read morespend an hour waiting to mail one letter to the States. So I take all of my post to this charming little branch on Bute Street in Cardiff Bay, near Mermaid Quay. This post office has the friendliest and most helpful staff, and I often find myself spending a few extra minutes chatting to Nigel and his lovely team. It has a small-town feel to it, like a place I would've taken my post in the mid-1950s. Like most Royal Mail branches, it's best to avoid this post office between the hours of 11.30 and 1, as the lunch rush means the line nearly extends out the door. Just visit around 10 am or 3 pm and you'll often find nobody there. Another reason to stop by: the charming and sweet retro greeting card selection. Not retro-style, but actually from the 80s and 90s. I buy all of my cards here because they beat a Clintons creation any day of the week. You just have to see it. Trust me.
