The Postal Museum is well worth a visit! I thoroughly enjoyed the fascinating exhibits and the chance to dive into the history of the postal service. The Mail Rail ride was a highlight! I was hoping for a bit more, like replica post offices from different eras or additional vehicles to showcase, but the experience was still engaging and unique. Highly recommend for a fun, educational outing in London!
