The London Zip Code or Postcode Guide and Map 2023

Have you been searching for London Zip Codes but can’t find them? That’s because the United Kingdom doesn’t use zip codes but instead uses postal codes, also known as postcodes.

The postcodes in the UK incorporate letters and numbers used by the Royal Mail for its delivery system in the country.

In total, the UK uses 121 postcode areas and three postcodes for the Crown Dependencies of Jersey, Guernsey, and the Isle of Man.

In every postcode area, there is a postcode district, and within each postcode district, there are a number of postcode sectors. Overall, there are 30 million postal addresses in the UK and 1.8 million postcodes.

The postcode areas and districts in Greater London comprise eight inner London postcode districts and 15 outer London postcode districts.

The eight inner London postcode districts cover 241 square miles of England.

In this article, I focus on the eight inner London postcode districts and areas: E, EC, N, NW, SE, SW, W, and WC.

What Are the Parts of a London Postcode

The postcode is made up of an outward and inward code. The outward code is the first part of the postcode that includes two to four alphanumeric codes indicating the post town or district.

The second part is the inward code, comprising three alphanumeric codes to identify the postcode sector and delivery point.

Here are some examples of what London postcodes look like:

E1 0AA (Lukin Street)	E1 (outward) 0AA (inward)
EC4N 1SA (Queen Street)	EC4N (outward)  1SA (inward)
N1 0AA (Bemerton Estate)	N1 (outward)  0AA (inward)
NW1 0AU (Bayham Street)	NW1 (outward)  0AU (inward)
SE12 0AA (Burnt Ash Hill)	SE12 (outward) 0AA (inward)
SW1V 1AA (Vauxhall Bridge Road)	SW1V (outward) 1AA (inward)
