I'm fourteen but I have done babysitting jobs in the area before and I also have a lot of extended family with small children who I look after from time to time. Any takers?
It's about 3kms from Tooting Bec ... but it's just 100m from Streatham railway station, with a regular service to central London
UK postcodes are very detailed and can identify a single building if it is big enough. Residential addresses are usually broken down into groups of approximately 10. Here are three examples of UK postcodes. SW16 3FR BN23 5SP RH10 2LF
London hasn't got its own single post code. There are tens of thousands of post codes in London, each one covering around 10 addresses. Large buildings would have their own post code. A London post code would look something this: SW16 4AE or SE27 6SL
The UK uses Post Codes which are similar to zip codes but much more detailed. A post code could identify a single large building or a smaller group of buildings, usually a maximum of ten residential units. An example of a London Post Code might look something like SW16 3RW.
US style ZIP codes aren't used in the UK. The UK uses post codes which are very detailed and can identify individual buildings if they have large amounts of mail. Residential addresses are usually identified in groups of about 10 by the same post code. A UK post code would look something like SW16 3RS.
There are many thousands of post codes in the UK. Each UK post code typically covers about ten residential addresses and large organisations often have their own post code. A typical UK post code would look something like this: SW16 5NF
The UK uses Postcodes instead of ZIP codes and these give a far precise location. In London, a single post code such as W2 4PX or KT14 9BE can pinpoint the Royal Mail or a Satnav to a single street. Postcodes in Central London start with WC (West Central) or EC (East Central); postcodes elsewhere in Inner London W (West), NW (Northwest), N (North), E (East), SE (Southeast) and SW (Southwest). Postcodes in the suburbs start with DA (Dartford), BR (Bromley), CR (Croydon), TW (Twickenham), SM (Sutton, yes it's an M not an N), UB (Uxbridge), RM (Romford), IG (Ilford, again not a typo), EN (Enfield), WD (Watford) and HA (Harrow).
Zip Codes aren't used in the UK. Post Codes are used which usually narrow an address down to around 10 addresses. Large buildings have their own post code. So the answer to your question is that there are thousands of post codes in London. A London post code would look something like this: SE27 5AQ or SW16 3TF or N22 8ZB
Here's one I made up earlier TR99 1YZ That's the easy bit over, it now gets a little complex. The first of the code is called the outward code used to direct mail from one sorting office to the destination sorting office. All UK postcodes are based on cities, and most use the first two letters of the city, I have used TR which indicates Truro Cornwall other examples PL Plymouth, EX Exeter etc Exceptions include Liverpool which uses just the L and London which uses compass postal addresses SW (South West), NW (North West) etc So now we know what the TR stands for, now what about the 99 I hear you all cry. 99 is the postal district, to explain it better lets look at a fictitious UK address. The Supervisor , 10 I Know The Answer Road, Wrong Again Truro England TR99 1YZ So in this case 99 stands for the postal district of 'Wrong Again' The second part of the code 1YZ is called the inward code used to sort the mail into individual delivery rounds 1 is the sector, in the case of the above address it is 'I Know The Answer Road' YZ is the unit ie 10. Although most units have an average of 15 houses in close proximity A post code is a number that refers to the area an address finds itself in it makes mail sorting easier as wel as puting an end to mail being misdirect to similarly pelt addresses in different places.
The UK has thousands of postcodes ! Each postcode relates to just a handful of properties. UK postcodes have a number of formats... Typical examples of the three formats are... SW1A 1AA, TS18 1AA, B1 2JP
London has thousands of different Post Codes. Each group of around 10 addresses has its own code and some large buildings have their own code. A London post code would look something like this: SE25 2TP or E16 5LS.
