The British Forces Post Office (BFPO) provides a postal service to HM Forces separate from that provided by Royal Mail in the United Kingdom. BFPO addresses are used for the delivery of mail in the UK and around the world. BFPO moved from its original base at Inglis Barracks, Mill Hill to its current base at RAF Northolt in west London in 2007.[1]

British Forces Post Office status as an agency of the Ministry of Defence ended on 1 April 2007, when it became part of Defence Equipment & Support.[2]
