Royal mail post code

The Royal Mail postcode system in the United Kingdom is a system of codes used to sort and deliver mail. The postcode is a combination of letters and numbers that identifies a specific geographic area, such as a town, city, or region.

The Royal Mail postcode system is divided into two parts:

  1. Outward code: This is the first part of the postcode, which identifies the area or region. It is usually a combination of letters and numbers, and is followed by a space.
  2. Inward code: This is the second part of the postcode, which identifies a specific street or group of streets within the outward code area. It is usually a combination of letters and numbers.

Here is an example of a Royal Mail postcode:

SW1A 1AA

In this example, "SW1A" is the outward code, which identifies the area as being in the London borough of Westminster. "1AA" is the inward code, which identifies a specific street or group of streets within that area.

Here are some examples of Royal Mail postcodes for different locations in the UK:

It's worth noting that Royal Mail postcodes are not always exact, and some areas may have multiple postcodes that cover the same geographic area. Additionally, some postcodes may be used for specific purposes, such as for businesses or organizations.
