From June 2005 new local numbers in London have begun to be allocated with an initial "3" - for example, (020) 3222 1234.

The exchange can be identified from the '3222' part of the number.

The area covered by '3222' seems to be Hackney, Victoria Park, Ilford, and Shoreditch.

For '3286', the area is Leatherhead, Surrey, although at least some of the number range may be allocated to SKYPE nunbers, so the final call destination could be anywhere in the world.

Due to the lingering confusion, people unaware of the correct format are beginning to erroneously assume that there is now a new London code, "0203". Even some newspapers, both local and national, have given this misinformation. In addition, the geographical significance of the "7" (inner London) or "8" (outer London) has been lost with regard to new number issues, so that, for example, some newly allocated numbers in central London now begin with an "8". As for the 3286, although initially the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh numbers had geographical significance that is no longer true for newly issued numbers.

If you're in the UK, area code 020 is London. The '3' is the first digit of the local number, not the last digit of the area code.

In the UK, area code 020 is London. It is incorrect to refer to area code 0203, because the '3' is the first digit of the 8-digit local number. The number is correctly shown as 020 3376 0000.

If you're in the UK, that's area code 020, which is London. The '3' is the first digit of the local number, not the last digit of the area code.

What area has STD code 0203?

You need to specify the country, since several different countries refer to telephone area codes as "STD Codes." See the related questions below.There is no area code 0203 in the United Kingdom. However, there is the area code 020 (or +44 20), which is for London. So, an 11-digit UK number beginning 0203... is just a regular eight-digit London phone number prefixed by the area code of 020. It should be written: (020)In India, area code 020 (or +91 20) is Pune, Maharashtra. Again, the '3' would be the first digit of the local number.An international telephone number beginning with +20 3 (dialed as 00 20 3 from many places) is in Alexandria, Egypt.(The plus sign means "insert your international access prefix here." From a GSM mobile phone, you can enter the number in full international format, starting with the plus sign. The most common prefix is 00, but North America (USA, Canada, etc.) uses 011, Japan uses 010, Australia uses 0011, and many other countries use different prefixes.)
