Use the official Post Office Branch Finder: search by postcode, town or street name, then open a branch listing to check its hours and services. Opening times vary by branch and can change, so check the listing for the location and day you plan to visit.
Find nearby branches with the official Branch Finder
- Open the Post Office Branch Finder.
- Enter a postcode, town or street name to see nearby results.
- If you need a particular service, use the finder’s service filters to narrow the results.
- Open a branch listing and check its opening hours and service details.
Most branches offer posting to the UK and abroad, everyday banking, and bill payments and top-ups, but services differ by location. Check the specific branch listing rather than assuming a nearby branch provides what you need.
Check whether your local Post Office is open today
Read the selected branch’s listing for the day you intend to visit. There is no single Post Office schedule that applies everywhere: Post Office Limited says branches may need to change their opening hours and directs customers to the Branch Finder for the latest available branch information. Check again before setting out if the timing matters.
Compare branches by more than distance
If the nearest result is closed when you need it or does not offer your service, compare other listings using:
#1 Best Overall
- Service: confirm that the branch handles the transaction or parcel service you need.
- Hours: check the listing for your intended visit day.
- Accessibility: review the branch information to see whether it suits your access needs.
- Journey: consider travel convenience, not only straight-line distance.
Post Office’s branch-change information shows why these details matter: an alternative branch can have different hours, services, access and travel details. Treat any hours in a notice about a particular branch as specific to that branch and notice, not as a general schedule.
Check availability for parcel services
Carrier services are not identical at every branch. Post Office says Royal Mail and Parcelforce Worldwide services are available in all branches, while DPD and Evri are available only in selected branches. Use the branch listing to verify that the location offers the particular service you need. See Post Office’s in-branch prices and services information.
