The store is small, but equipped to handle essential business including some banking. Money exchange (foreign currencies) and of course positing letters and parcels via royal mail. The shop probably needs a good refurbishment, but functions well enough.

I really like this post office. Compared to many of the post offices I've been to in London it's…read morequite small and doesn't have a huge amount of stock. It does sell some envelopes and stationary but doesn't have nearly as much choice as many post offices do. The only reason I'm not giving this post office five stars is because of the lack of choice in stationary. The services they do offer are excellent. They are of course the same as other post offices but where you might have to queue for half an hour in other London post offices in this one you rarely queue for longer than five minutes. The staff are friendly and helpful and always willing to have a chat when it's not too busy. There is a seperate desk to buy lottery and stamps. I've always found the postman who collects the post at the end of the day to be really friendly and helpful too. He always accepts whatever post you give him with a smile and will wait for you if you're just getting a stamp to put on the letter.
