I vaguely remember hearing years ago that there's a special post office in London that if you go by a certain time you will be effectively catching last post as if you had posted it locally at your postbox in your own postcode.


I want to post something last thing which will get at destination in UK tomorrow morning - any ideas ?

I won't have the doc in my possession until mid-evening.


Thanks,

KK.

There used to be 2 x 19:30pm collections - one at the Paddington and one at the Mount Pleasant sorting offices.


The Paddington office isn't a sorting office any more and I have a sneaking suspicion that the Mount Pleasant collection is now 7pm, but may be worth checking both of these.


I've never heard of a later collection in London than 19:30pm...wouldn't it be nice...

I remember when you used to be able to go to the night mail train in Glasgow Central station at 11.30pm and post a letter straight on to the train for delivery next morning in London!! Is this still possible in the London rail terminals or does everything go by air now???

I've posted late stuff at Nine Elms, but it was a while ago so the times may have changed.


KK, you can't guarantee next day delivery unless you send something RMSD (special delivery), can you? Was Mount Pleasant actually able to take your item personally? Interested to know for future reference!

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
