I've just received this registered cover sent to Geneva, Switzerland; having bought this on eBay. I was surprised this did not generate much interest and as a result I got this rather cheaply. It is the first time I've seen a Stanley Gibbon's seal, and with good strikes of the sending post office 369 The Strand B.O. W.C., thought this rather desirable.
This branch office is no longer there; a tourist gift shop now in its place. Only a red telephone box just outside gives any indication of a GPO presence (often phone boxes were placed near a post office when the technology arrived). Its location was just a very short walk from Stanley Gibbons' premises at 399 The Strand.
