The Great Send-Off

The Post Office at The Royal Hospital Chelsea

Stand and deliver?

It’s how you spend your life.

With Post Offices closing all over Britain, queuing at your local (alas, no more) branch can be torture. Which is why we bring the Post Office at The Royal Hospital Chelsea to your attention.

If you’ve got serious mail to dispatch, this branch is worth seeking out. Set within the beautiful grounds of Chelsea’s Royal Hospital (home to London’s ex-servicemen), it’s a small Post Office and shop that’s a cherished secret among area residents.

Queues are rare there. Service comes with a smile. The weighing of parcels and the sale of postage are part of the package, alongside other traditional services. Greeting cards and Chelsea pensioner memorabilia are also on offer.

We give it our stamp of approval.

Post Office at The Royal Hospital Chelsea, Royal Hospital Road, SW3 4SR (chelsea-pensioners.co.uk).
