There used to be a late - 18.30 - post collection from the box next to the Mind charity shop near the Goose Green roundabout. Before I go out in the cold to look could some kind soul let me know if they still collect at 18.30? Many thanks.

No they don't, they moved it to 5.30 a while ago. I have struggled to find one that is as late as that in the area.

Thanks for letting me know United. Grr grr, now I have to go all the way to Blackfriars just to post some letters.

I remember the days when those of us with no sense of time whatsoever lived with the comfort of knowing that you could always go to Mount Pleasant or even to Kings Cross in the middle of the night and give it to the nice man on the post train.

Yes, those were the days, and there was always the main post office in King Edward Street in the City too!

If I miss the post I tend to drive over to the sorting office on Nine Elms Lane. I think the last collection there is 8pm, but you'll probably never find out information like that on the Royal Mail/Post Office website. They can't even tell you collection times at sorting offices if you call the main number.

The local post boxes all claim 5.30 as the last, and indeed, only collection. Which, unless each post box is individually serviced by its own Postie, cannot be possible.

HELP - Mother's birthday tomorrow and I've only just remembered. Where is the nearest late collection please - I've just tried Royal Mail website to no avail.

Don't worry - I panicked and sent a telegram instead. Expensive bloody mistake but it is her 70th.

Didnt the post box on Melbourne Grove/LL used to have a late collection? Dunno if it's still the same now tho :-S

Anyone know if there is a Saturday collection in the ED area that hasn't already gone - ie 4pm or later?

Thanks
