About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the mail sorting area—a small envelope addressed to ‘The Next Person Who Opens This.’ Curious glances followed as more employees found similar envelopes with mysterious messages inside. Soon enough, everyone was opening their own mysterious letters—some were jokes, others riddles, and one even contained a free packet of tea from a neighbor. By lunchtime, the whole place buzzed with laughter and goodwill. The next day, someone posted an anonymous note saying simply, 'Welcome to Vauxhall Post Office—where every letter has a story!'
2. At Vauxhall Post Office, a regular customer complained one day: ‘Why do I always get letters addressed to “Mr. Undeliverable”?’ The postmaster smiled and replied, 'Well, sir, that’s because every time you move house or change address, you never tell us!' A neighbour overheard and added, 'And don’t forget to mention it when you start using a PO Box.' The regular laughed heartily, shaking his head in good humour.
3. In the early hours of dawn, when most postal workers were still asleep, an envelope addressed to 'The Next Person' kept arriving at Vauxhall Post Office. One day, a delivery driver noticed that every letter had the same handwriting and exactly £1 coin inside. Turned out it was a neighbor’s prank—he just wanted everyone to know how much he valued his mail service!
4. In the dim light of early morning, a postal worker heard a soft whimpering sound coming from behind the counter. Curious, he peered around and found a tiny kitten, its eyes wide with curiosity but also a hint of fear. The worker picked up the little one gently and carried it out into the quiet street. To his surprise, an old delivery driver stopped his van and offered to take the kitten home. Turned out, it was just a regular Tuesday morning at Vauxhall Post Office—except now they had a new resident cat who liked sitting on the counter during coffee breaks.
