Phoenix Place. Mail Rail is an extra underground ride, not a casual add-on. Next is Smithfield — do not also stack the Science Museum the same day.
Analysis
The Postal Museum: two wings only. Last entry is about an hour before close (About 10:00–17:00). Leave a large case if there is no cloakroom, leave via Farringdon, and do not add another large museum the same day.
Best time
Ride Mail Rail first
How to go
About 8 min from Farringdon
Transit
Tap contactless or Oyster at Farringdon. Last trains sit around midnight. After The Postal Museum closes, board there — do not cross districts for the last train.
Season window
Spring and autumn are easiest at The Postal Museum. Summer atriums and weekend crowds stack; in winter put the indoor rooms first, and do not count an outdoor court on a wet day.
Tips
- · Tickets: Mid: the museum is on the official site — do not freeze a guide number; Mail Rail is extra. Plan about 70 minutes.
- · The rail cars are small; decide about confined space first
- · No flash and no tripods inside The Postal Museum. Drink water before security. Pushchairs follow that day's door notice.
