From 11am til 2pm you will almost certainly be queuing for at least 15 minutes. The staff are a little stressed sometimes but always polite and friendly.

Has to be the worst post office in Britain…read more Its my local post office so I'm oftem forced to use it.....can honestly say that approximately 75% of the time whatever i go there to do is unsuccessful and it is ALWAYS 100% due to the incompetence and laziness of of the staff either giving me what i later find out is erroneous info or just not being there due to "lunch" or illness. They WILL tell you thar youre "too late" or "its the wrong form" or "thats the wrong type" or " its not something a post office does"......theyre lying....they just dont want to. When they do take on a bit of work and give you info on delivery times etc DOUBLE CHECK IT as they make it up on the spot.....even when you dont ask they make stuff up to tell you.....they havent a clue. Expect queues out the door and a stinking attitude from someone who acts like theyre doing you a favour when you get to the front of it.

Midway between St Pauls and the M32 out of Bristol sits the sleepy district of Bristol, St…read moreWerburghs. Not a lot is known about this merry little place packed full of colourful vans, nice takeaways and green spaces - until you start to explore. Mina Road Park is an excellent place to begin your exploration and in a relatively small space such as this you can find quite a lot. My favourite feature has to be the abundance of marvellously large oak tress possibly hundreds of years old. It's wonderful to sit in the leafy groves on a sunny day and guess the things they've seen appear and disappear. There's an enormous array of wildlife here too from newts and frogs, to dragonflies and sticklebacks in the daytime and bats and owls and night. With two quintessential bridges straddling the river as it curls round the perimeter and a bright and colourful play area this park is fantastic for children.

There is nothing here that you won't find in any other high street newsagent; a mid room selection of greeting cards, a wide range of magazines and newspapers or a sweet section for kids at knee level. There is also the obligatory National Lottery machine and some scratch card dispensers. There is, of interest, also a post office at the rear of the shop. It's just one hatch and one little old lady who is rarely there but when she is, it is a post office. Sometimes, it's all about the simple things.

I enjoy the colourful…read moreand happy take people have on a seemingly mundane job, guessing what customers are sending and chatting to the staff. In Henleaze, unfortunately, that's a far cry from this postal reality. It must be something to do with the many retirement homes in the area because this post office moves at a frustrating slow snail pace. There's a passport photo machine in the corner but aside from that it could be 1932 in here. 1932 at Christmas time - because they're always selling Christmas paper! In fact, I don't think the scene inside has ever changed. Maybe it is a time warp. Maybe, other than to post socks to your ailing nan, you could pop in here to actually sample the pace of life of a time gone. Thus go here. Go now, if not for the novelty factor alone.

This is a small example of the local post office, it's particularly friendly and quaint. 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. Perhaps they'll just be empty brick shells that sell stamps to collectors and pencil sharpeners (although only artists would buy them). Balls of fluff will gather in the corners. But no! 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? We would all have boarded up little slots in our front doors. Support! Support! Support!!

In Victoria Park Post Office, however, the chatty postmistress will know your name inside a couple of weeks of visiting, and that can only make the ordinarily drab experience of queuing to send a parcel a touch cheerier. The shop side of things is less of a necessity, given the abundance of convenience stores along Cowbridge Road, but stocks a handy range of stationary and packing materials nevertheless. When post offices closures are aligned with the destruction of local community spirit, you normally think of tiny hamlets and sleepy villages. But this end of Canton would be far poorer without this encouragingly welcoming outlet.
