London has postcodes beginning with N, NW, E, SE, SW, W representing different compass points, however NE doesn't get one (nor does S).
North East London is represented by the E postcode. If it is east, but south of the river, it is SE.
This is reflected by the fact that people tend to use the term East London to describe the part of London that is in the north east but not to describe the south eastern part.
If the address is in the most central part of East London then it is part of E1. After that, it goes in alphabetical order by the name of the area. So, Bethnal Green is E2, Bow is E3 etc.
The full postcode of a given address will include 3 more characters after this. Each full postcode is shared between a handful of properties.

Each road/street in the UK has it's own postcode, so to find the postcode you want you will need the rest of the address. Take a look at this link and fill in the information that you have, don't worry if there isn't a building name as it will still work for you...
