A new post office near Borough will open next month, over four years after the Great Dover Street branch closed.
The new branch, set to open on Wednesday, November 23, 1pm, will be inside the Bagh Convenience Store at 23, Bartholomew Street, SE1 4AL, near the Bricklayer’s Flyover, off New Kent Road.
It will replace the old branch at 159a Great Dover Street, which closed in July 2018, due to the resignation of the operator and the store’s closure.
Sam Coe, Post Office network provision lead, said: “We are delighted to soon be restoring a Post Office to this area as we know how important a Post Office is to a community. The branch’s opening hours will make it convenient for customers to visit.”
The new shop will be open Monday to Saturday, 7am to 10pm, and Sunday 9am to 10pm, offering 103 hours of post office access.
Some Royal Mail workers went on strike on Wednesday, October 13, with most strikes planned for October 20 and 25.
With over 11,500 branches, the Post Office has the biggest retail network in the UK, with more branches than all the banks and building societies combined.
