∙ 10y agoIn the United Kingdom, 020 is the area code allocated to London. It covers a large area, including central London, most of the outer boroughs and small parts of some neighbouring counties.
The 020 prefix is used primarily for the city's fixed, landline phone service, with mobile phones and pagers usually using a separate, nationwide range of numbers beginning with 07. This is standard practice in most of Europe, where mobile phones are charged at a different rate to standard landline phone calls and accordingly are not assigned geographic area codes.
About London phone numbers
The 020 code has existed since April 2000, when it replaced two separate area codes for inner and outer London (0171 and 0181).
An 020 area code is always followed by an eight-digit local number. When calling between two normal London (020) phone lines, the area code is optional and calls can be made using just the eight-digit local number.
Occasionally, people will mistakenly refer to '0207' and '0208' codes, despite neither ever having been an area code for London. For example, (0171) 222 1234 was renumbered to (020) 7222 1234 (shorter area code, longer local number) during the year 2000, but may be incorrectly quoted as (0207) 222 1234 by individuals who are more familiar with the old way of writing London phone numbers.
Location of individual numbers
Although telephone numbers can be moved between locations and operators, it is sometimes possible to get an idea of where a London phone number was originally allocated to by looking at the first four digits after the (020) area code. For example, numbers beginning (020) 7928 are allocated to BT's Waterloo telephone exchange. Some websites provide lookup facilities.
