Belsize Park Post Office

It’s not unusual that you need a post office that’s open past business hours. It is unusual to find one! And this is the one, the only one true post office open late in London. Really, truly, open until 11pm 6 days a week (except the first Wednesday of the month, watch out for that). As someone who leaves things to the last minute and then needs a postmark for a particular date, the real-​life, staffed post office counter inside Thornton’s Budgens is a LIFESAVER. Please never change.
Incidentally, Thornton’s Budgens itself looks pretty nice, and hey, a place to buy groceries that’s open late too!

Belsize Park Post Office is a post office that’s located inside a supermarket in Belsize Park, London, but don’t let that put you off as it provides all the usual post office counter services.
Belsize Park Post Office is located inside Thornton’s Budgens of Belsize Park (
) (opposite Belsize Park Underground Station). The great thing about this post office is the fact that it’s got such long opening hours it’s open from 7 in the morning until 11 at night Monday-​Saturday and from midday to 6pm on Sunday. I don’t know of any other post offices in London that are open so late. I’ve certainly never heard of post offices opening late in the evenings and on Saturday and Sunday afternoons so I was very pleased to discover this post office.
When this branch first opened it was a local/​sub post office but it has recently become a main post office so provides extra services such as car tax which is extremely useful if you buy a car without road tax on a weekend or in the evening as you can pop in and buy a tax disc on the spot.
You can find out more about the services offered and opening times on their website Belsize Park Post Office (
) .
So, if you need to use a post office on a Sunday or early in the morning /​
late at night on a Saturday/​weekday, head down to the Belsize Park Post
Office in the London Borough of Camden, North West London.
