Barnet EN5 5UU - 031005

Overview

As you may be aware Barnet Post Office branch will be operated by our retail partner Universal Office Equipment UK LTD (UOE) from Thursday 11 September 2025.

We are writing to advise our retail partner has now found a nearby alternative premises from which to operate the branch and they are proposing to relocate Barnet Post Office to 112a Barnet High Street (formerly Toy Galaxy), Barnet, EN5 5XQ. Services for customers would be unchanged, and opening hours would be increased to include Saturday afternoons and Sundays. The proposed new premises, which is currently empty, will undergo a refurbishment to incorporate a stationery store with Barnet Post Office branch.

Why are we making this change? 

Post Office Limited recently announced it is moving to a fully franchised network, as part of our wider commitment to deliver a “New Deal for Postmasters”. Over 99% of the Post Office network is already successfully operated on a franchise basis by carefully selected retail partners. UOE believes the proposed move will help to provide a sustainable service for the future, improving the long-term viability of both their retail service and Barnet Post Office branch.
