LONDON
DISTRICT
POSTS.
1.
The
London
district
comprises
all
places
within
a
circle
of
twelve
miles
from
St.
Martin's-le-Grand,
including
Cheshunt,
Hampton,
Hampton
Court,
Sunbury,
and
the
post
towns
of
Barnet,
Waltham
Cross,
Romford,
Bromley,
Croydon,
Kingston,
and
Hounslow.
2.
There
are
ten
postal
districts,
each
of
which
is
treated
in
many
respects
as
a
separate
post
town.
The
names
of
the
districts
are
as
follows,
the
initial
letter
or
letters
of
the
name
forming
the
necessary
abbreviation
to
each,
viz.:--East
Central,
West
Central,
Western,
South-Western,
North-Western,
Northern,
North-Eastern,
Eastern,
South-Eastern,
and
Southern.
3.
The
portion
of
each
district
within
three
miles
of
the
General
Post-Office
is
designated
the
Town
Delivery.
Within
the
town
limits
there
are
eleven
deliveries
of
letters
daily,
the
first
or
principal
commencing
at
7.30
and
generally
concluded
by
9
A.M.;
the
last
delivery
commences
at
7.45
P.M.;
there
being
something
like
hourly
deliveries
within
the
interval.
Each
town
delivery
occupies
on
an
average
forty-five
minutes.
There
are
seven
despatches
daily
to
the
suburban
districts.
4.
As
a
general
rule,
the
number
of
despatches
from
the
suburban
districts
is
the
same
as
the
number
of
deliveries.
5.
Information
relative
to
the
time
of
delivery
and
the
time
for
each
despatch
to
the
head
office,
and
also
from
thence
to
the
provinces,
is
afforded
at
each
town
and
suburban
receiving-house.
At
each
of
these
houses,
several
hundreds
in
number,
stamps
are
sold,
letters
are
registered,
and
separate
boxes
are
provided
for
"London
District"
and
"General
Post"
letters.
