We found a postbox for each monarch since pillar postboxes were introduced during Queen Victoria’s reign.
Victoria 20 June 1837 – 22 January 1901
Found in Chelsea, London
Edward VII 22 January 1901 – 6 May 1910
Found in Highgate Village, London
George V 6 May 1910 – 20 January 1936
East Finchley, London
If anyone can tell me why his boxes don’t have a ‘V’ I’d greatly appreciate it!
Edward VIII 20 January – 11 December 1936 (abdicated)
Found in East Finchley, London
George VI 11 December 1936 – 6 February 1952
Found in Hackney, London
Elizabeth II 6 February 1952 – present
Found in Archway, London
This was a tag team effort. The mission was a lot easier to complete having another set of eyes. Thanks, G!
Sifting Through...Expat Edition 
Great idea!
I’m so jealous! Did you go out searching for these or did you just randomly discover them once you started looking? I used to live in Hendon, but we hated North London so we moved to Southwest London and love it! I wonder if I’ll find any down here!
We lived in Tooting and hated it and moved north. How funny.
We started keeping a look out after I read about the history. We got really serious after we found the Edward VIII box. I bet a scavenger hunt can be made of finding them!
Eek! I thought I had already commented on this post and commended you on an awesome job well done. I love treasure-hunt-like things like this, especially in London.
I often wish I lived closer to London or in the zone system but I had to make the choice to give my dogs a bit of a garden!
Loving your detective work! I will checkout out each post box I pass from now on. B x
Wow! I never knew that! That’s amazing.
I know! I can’t believe how determined I became to find them all. Now I really want to go to the Royal Mail museum 🙂
