Just in case anyone uses this branch, the Post Office have confirmed that their main branch in Hammersmith is going to close. They say that they have been informed by WH Smith that the premises they currently use at their site in Kings Mall will no longer be available due to the redevelopment of the shopping centre.The branch will close on Saturday 8 August. The Post Office have described the closure as temporary but given no indication of a likely reopening date or even if there will be a branch at the site following the redevelopment.They say they are advertising for any potential retail partners interested in running a branch in the area. http://www.hammersmithtoday.co.uk/default.asp?section=info&page=conpostoffice001.htm

I wouldn't hold your breath - they said the same about Acton when its Crown Post Office closed. The principle of a major town centre being without a Post Office is now becoming well established. Chiswick is likely to be next in a year or so.
