Homansbyen (13)
KRISTIANIA H (Homansbyen), sub-office with address Josefinegaten 22, opened its doors 1891-11-1. Circular 28, 1891-10-31. Name changed to Oslo H in 1925; the office closed for good 1997-04-04. Today there's a Peppes Pizza restaurant where the post office once used to be, if I am not mistaken, or was it a RIMI grocery store?

Majorstuen (17)
KRISTIANIA-MAJORSTUEN underpostkontor II (branch post office, class II, was initially located at Bogstadveien 37, in a stationery and paper shop. According to Circular 57, 1910-10-17, the opening date was 1910-11-15.
Seven years later, on 1917-9-16, it was upgraded to branch office class I. According to Circular 44, 1917-9-11, the office would relocate to new premises in Bogstadveien 52. With this move came the possibility to serve a larger audience. It was also a move away from the Kristiania H office in Josefinegaten.

Moløkken (4)
MOLØKKEN underpostkontor II (branch post office, class II, in Dannevigsveien 10), under Kristiania PO, was established 1910-12-1; the event served in Circular 57, 1910-10-17. Widow Magda Johannessen was hired as the manager. At this address, however, a kiosk was located, and on these premises the class II would operate until 1925 when it was upgraded to a class I office (Circular 32, 1924-10-29).

Kampen (2)
KRISTIANIA K (Kampen) branch post office, class II, in Havegaten 25, was opened on 1914-10-1 according to Circular 29, 1914-7-27. From 1920-10-1 upgraded to branch post office class I. (Circular 55, 1920-9-23).
No cancel has been recorded for the opening in 1914, but I believe this is due to a typo (see Kra H, unknown 1914), and that the Kra PO received the cancel on September 18th.

Grefsen (3)
GREFSEN post handling station (poståpneri) was establised at the Grefsen railroad station (in Aker, county Akershus) on 1900-12-20 in connection with the opening of the railroad between Kristiania and Røikenviken, named Kristiania-Gjøvikbanen (Circular 47, 1900-12-8) with post expedition under the name Gjøvikbanens postekspedition (which would sort under Kristiania omkarteringskontor).
The name KRISTIANIA-GREFSEN appears for the first time on 1918-11-1 when upgraded to branch office class I under Kristiania PO. Circular 54, 1918-11-11 carried this announcement.

Ullevål Haveby (3)
ULLEVÅL HAVEBY field post office, located not in Kristiania, but in Aker which back then would belong to the county Akershus. Still, the field post sorted under Kristiania PO, and it has become common to consider it part of Kristiania...
Ullevaal, on the other hand, although geographically closer to the Kristiania PO, has not been considered as a Kristiania PO satellite.
Ullevaal was spelled Ullevål from 1917, but did not receive a re-engraved canceller. See greater Kristiania area for more information.
Ullevål Haveby opened on 1922-2-1 according to Circular 5, 1922-1-27.
