I heard that closure most certainly was on the cards and that they were
planning to relocate the sorting centre out to Hertfordshire.

Recent correspondence in the Camden New Journal suggests not. It is true
that some services have been relocated in the past but it is thought
that total abandonment of the site by Royal Mail is unlikely. Only time
will tell if they deem it more profitable to sell than to keep.

The sorting centre is an architectural monument, is it not?

I can't say definitively either way but I haven't heard mention of it
and can't think why it would merit protection, save for Mailrail itself.
Alas, the online listed building database isn't open to public use.
