Post Office

Scruffy little post office staffed by jobsworths who will not let you in if you arrive at 5.29PM. Avoid it if you can.

On Saturday 14^th March this post office is going to have fitted a whole new Record-​UK sliding door and aluminum frame fitted by three very skilled engineers.

Earl’s Court’s main Post Office is one of the less attractive branches in this part of London.
It’s small — long and narrow — and incredibly scruffy and muddled inside, with all sorts of adverts, leaflet dispensers, stationery items for sale and the like jostling for attention. It needs a thorough makeover and some rigorous clutter management.
It’s also reknowned for its long queues at just about any time of day or year, with often 20 or more people waiting, and at Christmas time they can queue out of the door onto the street. (Tip: early morning is best). Some of the staff are very helpful and efficient, but others are less so. They also seem to have to deal with more than their fair share of difficult customers — I’ve witnessed several unpleasant arguments during various visits.
Services include everything you would expect at a main Post Office — Royal Mail, Licences of various types, Social Security, Insurance and various other services such as telephone and Broadband (though the environment is hardly conducive to making a sale). It’s located directly opposite the main entrance to Earl’s Court Underground station.
