Postcodes in London are a mess, no two ways about it. But then again it is based on a Victorian System that hasn't been updated since 1917! Anyhow London postcodes are different based on whether it is Inner London or Outer London. Inner London has the postcodes: WC, EC, N, E, SE, SW, W and NW. As you can tell these are compass directions (NE and S have been removed and are postcodes for Newcastle Upon Tyne and Sheffield respectively). Outer London (similar to the Newcastle and Sheffield Postcodes) are based on the major district in the area these are: EN (Enfield), IG (Ilford), RM (Romford), DA (Dartford), BR (Bromley), CR (Croydon), SM (Sutton), KT (Kingston), TW (Twickenham), UB (Uxbridge) and HA (Harrow).

I would like to know the zip code (ZIP code) Flat 8/15 Acer Road E83GX London UK

London postal codes are those which start with the following letter codes: NW, N, E, W, SW, SE, WC, EC.

As the other answer says, Manchester is a completely different city - About 200 miles north west of London, unless of course, you mean Manchester Square or another street with that name. Put the details of building number, street and city into the link and it will give you the postcode. Every few buildings have a different post code, so just because somewhere is on a certain street, doesn't mean the postcode will be the same as its next door neighbour.

The UK post code is a string of characters added to the address of every building in the country which are unique to that building or to a block of buildings or part of a street. It is much more precise than an American zip code - in fact it is so precise that all our satellite navigation (sat-nav) units allow us to enter the post code as a destination and the sat-nav will take us to the very point. There are therefore many many codes in any one town or village.

If it is written correctly on each letter it allows the mail companies to use a computer to read the code and then sort the mail to speed it on it's way to the correct destination.

Therefore it follows that in the UK there are thousands and thousands (millions even) of different postcode and if you want a specific one you need to tell us a specific address or go here :-

and find the one you want yourself.

It is also used by many other companies in the UK to determine specific areas - for instance car insurance companies use the post code to determine the risk in the area you live and amend the payment accordingly.

Also delivery companies use it with a computer to work out the best route for the delivery truck to avoid covering the same roads twice.

Try asking a question in decent English.

If your question is "What is the postal code for London UK?" the answer is that there isn't one. The postcode changes after every 15 houses or so. And if you think Manchester is in London, you obviously have no clue whatsoever about geography.

There is no ONE postal code to cover London, there are thousands. Similarly with Manchester. Yes they *may* start with Mxxx, but not always.

If you know the road, or the house name , or number, then you may find the 'correct' postcode for the address using the postcode finder.

Good luck

Manchester is a different city from London. You need the street address too. Look at their site, Royal Mail post codes. Type in the address.

Manchester post codes begin with 'M'.

London post codes are much more varied, e.g. EC ( East City ) SW ( South West) and so on.
