The old Post Office will close on 11th June and the new one opens on 22nd June
Walthamstow’s Post Office is moving soon, although only to the building next door.
The Post Office at 242-244 Hoe Street will close at 3.30pm on Sunday, 11th June, and reopen in 240 Hoe Street at 1pm on Thursday, 22nd June.
Post Office explained that the move is because the lease for its current home is expiring and reassured residents that the new branch will still have a staffed retail counter, in addition to three automatic screens.
