Overview

We are moving the above Post Office branch to a new location: I-Tech Repairs, 314 Lewisham High Street, London, SE13 6JZ, where it will operate as one of our local style branches.

Why are we moving?

The previous postmaster resigned, and the premises are no longer available for Post Office use. We have therefore had to identify an alternative location to continue to offer Post Office services to the local community.

We are pleased to inform you that a new agent has been appointed who has identified an alternative location to operate the Post Office service. Our priority is to safeguard Post Office services to the local community in the longer term. The relocation of Lewisham High Street Post Office will enable us to maintain a Post Office service to our customers in the local community.

The previous Post Office branch closed on Thursday 19 August 2021 and your new-look Post Office is scheduled to open on Wednesday 15 December 2021 at 13:00 at the new location. If there are any unforeseen circumstances which mean these dates change, posters will be displayed to let customers know. 

During transfer of the branch customers requiring Post Office facilities may use any convenient Post Office service. Details of two alternative Post Office branches are provided below for your convenience:

  • Ladywell Road Post Office, 253 Algernon Road, Lewisham, London, SE13 7AG
  • Lewisham Post Office, WHSmith, 59 Riverdale Lewisham Centre, Lewisham, London, SE13 7EP

Why your views matter

Whilst the decision has already been made to move the branch, we would still like your views on access and the service offered at the new location. Therefore, we’re now commencing a local public consultation and before we finalise our plans would like to hear your views.

What happens next

We will take into account any information and feedback we receive as we finalise our plans for the new branch.
