Post Office Branches
Locally there are three sub-post offices. Follow the links below for details of opening hours and services offered. All of them offer the usual postal services, everyday personal and business banking, foreign currency and bill payment facilities. However only Longfield and New Ash Green do vehicle tax payments.
Longfield (69 Station Road)
Hartley (Fairby Stores, Ash Road)
New Ash Green (19-21 The Row)
Some years ago there were a lot more, but those at Longfield Hill, Hodsoll Street, Ash and Fawkham have all closed.
Post boxes
New King Charles post box at Main Road, Longfield
The traditional way to send postal items and they are still here! The Royal Mail website has a post box finder tool to find the nearest post box and last collection times.
Each post box has the cipher of the monarch when it was installed. The newest is one for King Charles III at the junction of Main Road and Gorsewood Road in Longfield.
Other Parcel firms
In 2006 Royal Mail lost its monopoly on parcel deliveries. Now there are many competing firms, most of whom have local drop off points in local shops. The Money Saving Expert website has guidance and links to price comparison websites for parcels.
