I have absolutely no idea but I’m willing to bet one of your readers will come up with the correct answer. Along with some pertinent information about what the shops used to be.

Mm...
In the absence of further details, a post office by itself is pretty rare these days. It's usually a post office/corner shop, at least here in East London!

It's not just a post office, it also sells groceries.

Having tried briefly I think this is almost un-Google-able, given you can't search for combinations of items and that none of the shops are particularly unique.
You would need to have this as your local parade and recognise the pattern.

It's probably somewhere you've been recently and maybe one from the list below, so I'm guessing Uxbridge. you did say to guess.

When I said "I'm standing outside..." I was indeed standing outside, this very afternoon.

Is Bow, or somewhere nearby, too obvious an answer?

If YELL had a database I could query then I could have a bash at this by looking for the categories of "shop" on the same street and looking for adjacent numbers 2,4,6 or 1,3,5. It might work...

I *do* have a database of pharmacies, and there are 1395 open in London. That's 10% of the national total
According to parliament there are 11,415 Post Office branches in the UK, assume the same percentage and you've got a similar number to the pharmacy count.
That's a lot of possibilities of combinations.

I suspect one of the blue, red or green squares in SE London.

You could look for pharmacies and post offices which are on the same street (and maybe have numbers within 6 of each other)

Street view is 4 years out of date but I reckon its Riddlesdown.
The charming residents association webpage tells me that there was planning for change of use to a cafe for the empty shop.

Andy - you are correct :)
3 hours 4 minutes!
Gosh, my readers are good...

I'm particularly impressed given that 'FCIR' appear to be completely absent from google maps, and that Street View is out of date as you said. Did you work it out from the other shops, local knowledge or something else!?

gosh, Andy C ... how did you figure that out ?

As an aside, in 1976 when I opened my National Girobank account there were 24,000 post offices open. Now theres a story of an excellent public service destroyed by politicians
