MailOnline's interactive map shows which shops have closed in your town so far in 2025.
Struggling in Covid's wake and battered by the cost-of-living crisis, industry experts predict 17,350 will shut permanently this year.
Retail giant WHSmith and banks including Lloyds, TSB and Natwest have announced dozens of closures, as well as fashion chains New Look and Select.
The Post Office
The Post Office confirmed in November it would be axing 115 branches and hundreds of jobs in yet another major blow to Britain's struggling high street.
The embattled postal giant said a significant number of jobs from its 1,000-strong head office staff were at risk.
And 115 major city centre Crown Post Offices would be scrapped, in a move that critics fear could leave pensioners and the vulnerable isolated.
The shake-up could see the branches transferred to retail partners or postmasters or shut for good.

The radical overhaul was part of the Post Office's drive to transition to a fully franchised model - similar to how fast-food giant McDonald's operates.
The model sees a company giving permission to individuals or groups to run the business, using its brand and products in exchange for a fee.
Almost all of the nation's Post Office branches are now run as a franchise, with just one per cent directly overseen by the company.
WHSmith
WHSmith is set to shut 17 of its branches over the coming months, following a string of closures last year amid reports it could sell its 500-strong high street store business altogether.
The historic UK retailer confirmed in January that it has held talks over potentially selling the chain, resulting in thousands of WHSmith workers facing uncertainty as private equity suitors eye a deal to take control of the stores.
The company said it is assessing options for the division as it seeks to focus on its larger travel operation.
It is understood private equity groups Hilco and Alteri are among parties to raise interest over a possible takeover move for the business, after WHSmith launched the process late last year.
Both Hilco and Alteri have experience in UK retail as turnaround specialists.

However, this may raise concerns among some workers over what a private equity takeover deal would mean for the future of the WHSmith high street estate and roughly 5,000 workers.
It comes after WHSmith previously announced plans to open 110 new branches in airports, train stations and hospitals where profits were higher than high street shops, as well as more than 50 stores in North America.
Over the last two years, WHSmith has closed 10 stories, including locations in Manchester, Crewe, Ramsgate, Bicester, Somerset and Sale.
Late last year it was also announced WHSmith would begin selling vinyl records again following a three-decade hiatus, in response to a growing trend among shoppers.
But WHSmith, which first opened in 1792, was voted Britain's worst or second worst high street retailer for nine straight years from 2011 to 2019, in a poll conducted by consumer watchdog Which?
Homebase
Homebase has closed, or is in the process of closing, 53 of its stores.
It had previously put 74 stores up for sale after the DIY chain fell into administration in November.
Homebase appointed administrators at consultancy Teneo after it was hit hard by an 'incredibly challenging' three years for the DIY sector.

Administrators struck a deal to sell the business to retail group CDS, which owns The Range and Wilko, securing the future of up to 1,600 jobs and 70 stores.
Homebase's collapse came amid reports that banking giant Wells Fargo declined to extend the group's lending facility due to concerns about its finances.
Management blamed weaker consumer confidence and spending after the pandemic and the cost-of-living crisis for profit losses.
Select Fashion
Select Fashion announced in February that it would close 35 of its shops, with all of them being located outside of London.
Stores across towns and cities in the UK closed by the affordable clothing retailer included Southampton, Bristol, Wolverhampton and Hartlepool.
Experts said at the time the cull was a significant one for Select Fashion, which downsized its trading portfolio by just under a half with those closures.

It comes after the fashion brand fell into administration in 2019, with the retailer blaming tough economic conditions on the high street.
Select Fashion, owned by Turkish entrepreneur Cafer Mahiroğlu, was later bought out of administration by Genus UK Limited.
The chain entered into a Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA) last summer, according to recent filings on Companies House.
A CVA is a way of restructuring that allows a company to negotiate with its creditors to pay off its debts, such as reducing rent costs with landlords.
Quiz
Quiz Clothing is closing 23 of its branches just weeks after shares in the company were removed from the London Stock Exchange.
The struggling retailer is expected to use a pre-pack administration deal to allow the founders to regain control of a slimmed down version of the business, The Sun reported in February.

The company has appointed the insolvency practitioner Teneo as administrator.
Around 1,500 people currently work for the company across 60 stores in the UK.
But 200 of those employees could face job losses, Sky News reported.
Cineworld
Cineworld has shut eleven cinemas across Britain so far this year.
The company said its restructuring has meant it could 'address unsustainable operating costs, achieving its key objectives with cost saving initiatives including the reduction of rents to market level at several UK sites, resulting in significant savings'.

Cineworld now has 90 cinemas across the UK left.
The business, which is part of the world's second-largest cinema chain, has been struggling since the pandemic as audiences have failed to return to previous levels.
Lloyds, Halifax and Bank of Scotland
Lloyds Banking Group announced in January it will close 136 high street branches in a huge blow for customers.
It will shut 61 Lloyds, 61 Halifax and 14 Bank of Scotland sites between May this year and March 2026.
The move comes weeks after the finance giant shook up its business to allow customers of Lloyds, Halifax and Bank of Scotland to use stores across any of its brands.

Lloyds blamed the decision to shut the branches on customers shifting away from banking in person to using mobile services.
It said all workers at the affected branches will be offered jobs elsewhere in the company.
NatWest
NatWest is closing 53 bank branches this year as growing numbers of customers opt to use online banking.
The major lender announced a full list of locations that will close their doors for good in January.
It comes after the taxpayer-backed lender edged another step nearer to full privatisation after buying back £1billion of its shares from the Government in November.
The firm had already reduced much of its portfolio of physical branches, closing 48 sites last year and around 20 in 2023.
Since 2015, NatWest Group, which encompasses NatWest, Royal Bank of Scotland and Ulster Bank, has closed 1,409 branches.
Sainsbury's cafe
Sainsbury's announced in January it would axe 61 cafes and more than 3,000 jobs as part of a major overhaul.
Simon Roberts, chief executive of the supermarket group, said the company was making the cuts as it attempts to slash spending by a £1billion a year in the face of a 'particularly challenging cost environment'.

This is despite the supermarket chain recently announcing its 'biggest ever' Christmas trading period and predicting profits would likely be between £1.01 billion and £1.06 billion for the whole of 2025.
The losses mean the current 148,000-strong workforce by will be reduced by 2 per cent and all of the 61 remaining cafes will be closed.
Mr Roberts said Sainsbury’s shoppers did not use their cafes regularly, whereas in-store food halls and concessions have grown in popularity.
As part of the shake up, the retailer also closed its remaining patisserie, hot food and pizza counters in-store and shift the most popular items from there into regular shopping aisles.
