London Postal Code

London doesn’t have zip codes … exactly. We have postal codes and each one is different depending on where you live, north, south east or west. And sometimes even how far down a street you live.

The good thing about it is that you can give someone a house number and the street code and end up at their door with no more information than that. London Zip Codes are made up of 2 letters and either 1 or 2 letters a space and then then a number followed by 2 letters: example: NW6 5BQ… I have no idea if that exist.. but NW6 does (Northwest London)



London has the following postal regions which are further divided into local postcodes.

Ñ - North
E - East
W - West
WC - West Central for inner London.
EC - East Central for inner London but pretty much the old City of London
NW - North west London
SW - South West includes some inner west London but mainly south east London
SE - South East.
