This opening marks Postmark’s 16th store, a milestone we’re incredibly proud of.

A bit about Canary Wharf:

Canary Wharf has undergone a remarkable evolution. What began 35 years ago as a bold vision to create a striking new financial centre has transformed into so much more. Now, Canary Wharf has redefined city living, making spaces greener, business better and living more connected – a place where people, nature and business thrive together in an extraordinary environment.

Today, Canary Wharf represents a blend of London’s industrial heritage and its modern ambitions — a symbol of transformation from bustling docks to a contemporary, cosmopolitan urban centre.

What You’ll Find In-Store:

Our new Canary Wharf store is home to a carefully curated collection of greeting cards, wrap, and stationery from many different brilliant suppliers. From occasion cards to birthday and stunning art cards, you’ll find the perfect card for every occasion. As always, every design on our shelves is handpicked by our team, chosen for its quality, creativity, and originality. We’re passionate about celebrating the artistry behind great cards, and giving our customers something truly special to send and receive.

You'll find us at: Cabot Place West, London E14 4QT - opposite Zara

Opening hours: 

Monday-Friday: 8am - 8pm

Saturday: 10am - 7pm

There’s a special kind of excitement that comes with December. Even before the first advent calendar door is opened, you can feel the shift in the air. Crisp mornings, twinkling lights on neighbourhood windows, and a gentle hum of festive anticipation. Christmas is loved not just for the day itself, but for the season it brings: cosy evenings, time with friends and family, and little touches that make your home feel magical.

Postmark Richmond 

For many, December is a chance to slow down and savour moments that might otherwise pass us by. It’s the sound of children eagerly shaking advent calendars early in the morning. It’s choosing the perfect decoration for the tree,  maybe a charming new ornament or a sentimental favourite from years gone by. It’s watching someone smile as they open a handwritten card, or sharing a warm drink after a frosty winter walk.

And that’s why prepping for December is so wonderful: it lets you create a season full of joy rather than stress. Taking a little time now means you can fully embrace the magic when it arrives, from the gentle countdown to Christmas Day to the beautiful decorations that turn your home into a festive haven. Postmark’s curated collection of advent calendars, cards, and decorations can help you bring the spirit of Christmas to life in a way that feels personal, thoughtful, and beautifully made.

Make Space for Cosy Traditions:

December isn’t just about ticking things off your list, it’s also about enjoying the season. As you prep, remember to make room for cosy moments:

• Put on a Christmas film

• Bake something festive

• Light your favourite candle

• Spend an evening wrapping gifts with music playing in the background

Ready to Start Prepping for December?

Whether you’re choosing advent calendars, decorating your home, picking Christmas cards, or stocking up on wrapping essentials, Postmark’s curated festive collection has everything you need to welcome the season in style.

A little preparation now means a calmer, cosier, and more joyful Christmas later on — and who doesn’t want that?
