The difference between the Post Offices in Sydenham and Forest Hill is like comparing chalk and cheese.
Sydenham provides a warm, welcoming and efficient service with staff appearing to be really on the ball and even in the event of a queue forming you are rarely delayed for long.
From our perspective at the bottom of Perry Hill we still have not forgiven Sainsburys for inducing our local Post Office to migrate into their then Savacentre and then terminating it as an operation a few years later.
Value your local Post Office and fight for it.
