There is no '0208' area code, but 020 is the code for London in the UK.

People sometimes still wrongly write numbers in the format 0208 xxxxxxx. This suggests that the code is 0208, but that has never been the case and is probably just down to people misunderstanding how London phone numbers work since the renumbering that took place in the year 2000.

London has just one area code (020), and all local numbers have eight digits.

UK area code 020 is London. Although you will often see references to 0208, it is incorrect; the 8 is the first digit of the 8-digit local number. A number beginning 020 8638 could be anywhere in the greater London 020 area; no further geographic information is possible.

In the UK, there is no area code 0208. Area code 020 is London, with 8-digit local numbers.

A UK telephone number beginning with (020) 8783 is most likely a BT landline in Molesey, Hampton, Middlesex; however, with number portability, any specific 020 number could be located anywhere in the greater London 020 area, served by any local telephone company.

Can you find an address for 0208 1239142?

If this is a LONDON, UK, number then the correct format for the number is: (020) 8123 9142 The London area code is (020) and local numbers have eight digits. There is no distinct local area served by 8123 numbers. These numbers are issued by SKYPE and could be anywhere in LONDON. In fact it is entirely possible for the user of that number to be anywhere in the UK. These numbers are in the new blocks issued post-2000. The old number would have been 0181-123-9142 but that number would not have been valid in the old scheme. Local numbers could not begin with 0 or 1 in the 0181 area code. There is no such area code as 0207 or 0208.

The old area code 0208 461does not work what is that code now?

If the number is a London number that is eleven digits long in total then it should work as there have been no changes to the London telephone code since the year 2000. (Numbers in London all always have the code 020, followed by an eight digit local number.) Maybe the number you want has been taken out of service, or you have a wrong number?Alternatively, if you are trying to dial a really, really old number from before 1995 that is 0208 461xx or 0208 461xxx then this would be a number in Cornwall where the code changed from 0208 to 01208.
