Festive postboxes

Bringing Christmas joy with the sending of letters and cards.

ROYAL MAIL’S SINGING CHRISTMAS POSTBOXES DELIVER JOY AND CHEER FOR ALL TO HEAR ACROSS THE UK

We've unveiled singing Christmas postboxes to bring festive joy and cheer to four iconic locations across the UK. The four postboxes will surprise and serenade members of the public when they post their cards and letters on some of the busiest festive streets.

The red and gold postboxes, located in each UK nation, are festively-decorated with snowmen, snowflakes and gold stars. They merrily respond to post with one of three festive tunes. The songs include: Jingle Bells, We Wish You A Merry Christmas and Deck The Halls.

The postboxes are located across the UK in:

  • London – Oxford Street (opposite John Lewis)
  • Glasgow – George Square
  • Belfast – Donegall Square West
  • Swansea – Union Street

Nick Landon, Chief Commercial Officer, said: 'This is our busiest time of the year. December sees about twice as many letters, cards and parcels as other months.

'This year, we’re adding some extra festive joy and cheer for people sending their letters and Christmas cards to loved ones through our amazing singing postboxes.'
