Hendon Central Post Office will be given a facelift as well as longer opening hours under new plans to modernise services.
The branch in Vivian Avenue will be open ten hours more a week and will be fitted with four counters including one retail desk after it closes for refurbishment on Wednesday, May 1.
Mark Lawrence, Post Office regional network manager, said: “We understand how important having a Post Office is to residents in this area of Hendon and we are confident that this new modern Post Office service will meet the needs of the local community and secure services for the future.
“This modernisation is part of a three-year investment programme, the largest in the history of the Post Office, that will see around 6,000 branches converting to new-style branches.”
The Post Office will reopen on Friday, May 10 at 9am when its new opening hours will be 8am-7.30pm Monday to Saturday.
During its closure, customers can use The Hyde Post Office in The Hyde, West Hendon, or Hendon Post Office in Brent Street.
