The postbox is one of the city’s most recognisable symbols, but did you know you can tell how old it is by spotting this one thing? 📮 The Royal Cypher is a way of combining a monarchs' initials and title, this symbol is engraved on every letterbox in the country. If you look closely, you'll be able to tell which monarch was on the throne when the letter box was created. The city is full of historic postboxes, from the very first Victoria red postbox to the original green design, there’s lots to spot on your next trip to the capital. Will you spot the Royal Cypher the next time you’re in London? #LondonMakesItPossible #VisitLondon #LondonHistory #LondonHiddenGems #LondonPostBox #RedPostbox
