We are sad to say we are leaving 😢


Before we go, we wanted to let you know how much we have enjoyed our time here. Thank you all for your support, kindness, lovely comments on this forum here and friendship over the past nearly 30 years. You are a special group of people and we will definitely miss you all.


This was a Main Post Office, privately owned rather than directly managed offering full range of services and will remain so. It will reopen on Monday 2nd July after being refurbished and will benefit from extended hours, offering Post Office services 7 days a week. Selected transactions will only be available core hours and these will be advertised on the Post Office website.


It was our decision to sell as the time was right for us. Please come and say hi when you see us as we?re not moving from the area.


Thank you

Nilesh, Anita & Raj

^^ what Cornelia said.


You are such a big part of our FHR community and we will really miss you! Thank you so much Nilesh, Anita and Raj for always being so kind and friendly. My kids call the P.O 'Raj's.' It won't be the same without you,


Best of luck to you all,


Lucy, Cody, Pea, CB and the twins xx

I hope Nilesh, Anita and Raj will read this. We are so sad to read this thread. You have been so kind and helpful, particularly keeping an eye out on our elderly relative and contacting us with your concerns about her. You are an amazing crew and we will miss you so much. Wishing you all the best whatever the future holds. K and A
Absolutely agreed that the previous incumbents were exemplary and deserve huge thanks for the service they have offered over (many) years - but let's hope that the new team will see them as a role model to follow - in terms of good and helpful service. It appears that the time of leaving was their choice, however sad they are to leave (and we are to lose them) - but the show must go on!

I really cannot add any more than what has already been said by every single other comment here. Just so incredibly rare to have such universal praise, love and respect without exception on here! How many shop owners would inspire a 4 yr old to bring back a holiday present for them before than their own grandparents?!!


Thank you and good luck Raj, Nilesh & Anita.

    • Callout for help from any local experts here. Looking to find out more about the history of the property on the corner of Whateley Road and Ulverscroft road (with the green glazed bricks). Now a residential property, i'm told it was a bottle shop in days gone (the house was built around 1900) by and i'd like to learn more about the history of the business that was once here - name, photos, anything at all really! Seems to be very little from open source research so i'm hoping anyone with history in the area can provide any insight!  Starting here before i contact Southwark Archives or similar orgs to get any information and pictures (any advice here also would be welcome). Thank you
    • Portable ramps are available for businesses to use in this sort of situation, aren't they? I don't know whether one would be suitable for use here, or whether they have the space to store one. Lots of people have  permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.
    • I can’t remember where I read that figure but this article in the Grauniad from 2023 discusses Ocado results from 2022. The average shopping cart fell to £118 from £129 the previous year. But Ocado lost £500m that year on approximately 20 million orders (circa 400k orders per week). So, averaging out to £25 lost per order. Ocado pauses building new warehouses as annual losses balloon to £500m | Ocado | The Guardian  Obviously, the £500m loss includes various factors. But Ocado has existed for 25 years and only made a small profit in a couple of those years. The rest have been huge losses. Yet it continues to raise funds and speculation sends the share price up and down. In that respect,  it’s like the UK version of Tesla. Meanwhile, the main growth in the supermarket sector has been for Aldi and Lidl, who do not deliver.
