how is the uk postcode arranged?

Answer 1

London postcodes are divided into N, NW, E, SE, SW, EC, WC. Representing North, North-West, and so forth. Note that there is no North-East postcode and no S postcode.

In London, the '1' code is always the most central one, and after that they are in alphabetical order, e.g. E2- Bethnal Green, E3- Bow, E4 -Chingford, E5- Clapton

That is why you get random combinations right next to each other e.g. N7 (Holloway) and N19 (Upper Holloway)

Best postcodes in UK: N19, LS6, N12 ;o)

Answer 2

The anonymous poster is right. London postcodes were introduced in the 1850s and Glasgow was the next city to get them, in the 1920s.

Answer 3

1)City/City Region-for London (1 or 2 letters)

e.g. SW for South West London
L for Liverpool
LS for Leeds

2) Area within your city (lower the number, generally the closer to the city centre) e.g. SW1 is Buckingham Palace Road

3) Then you get a number & 2 letters unique to your street. E.g. LS28 9NN is in Pudsey the 28th region of LS (Leeds). It is 28 & thus quite far from the city centre. 9NN is unique to the street of Milbank View and there are many street postcodes around it which start like LS28 9...
