It will depend on the area, they can be either 6 digits: CR0 2AN or 7 digits; SW19 6SN, the beginning indicate which area the address is from. CR being Croydon and SW being South West.

Example: SO31 4NG
This breaks down as follows:
Outward Code: SO31
SO = the postcode area. One or two letters identify the main office the mail initially goes to.
31 = the postcode District. One or two characters, numeric except, occasionally, in central London. This helps to sort the item at the main office.
Inward Code: 4NG
4 = the Sector. A number defining a neighbourhood within a district.
NG = the Unit code. Two letters that identify a group of approximately 15 addresses.
