How many digits are there in engish postcodes (not 5)? |
Travel Info need to know Travel Tips 2 letters 1 number although can be two digits, a number then 2 letters. eg; NG11 9LL or LE6 8JH. The first letters denote postal area. Others no not five - in an English postcode there are a minimum of 6 digits - but some postcodes have 7 digits An English postcode will usually denote a block of houses - like one side of a street or road - so it is important to also know the number of the house in question , but large establishments like workplaces and schools will have their own unique post code ~ Generally it's six...

First two are letters which tells you the city area, the next two are numbers which tell the section of the city area. A gap. Then a number and two letters. Each postcode is a street, so techically you could put the name of the person you are writing to, the house number and postcode and it would get there. An example postcode would be AB12 3CD AB = Town or city 12 = District, this number can be anywhere inbetween 0-99. 3CD = Street, and what side of the street. So, it is possible to write "number 18, AB12 3CD" on an envelope, and it will still get to the right address. |
