What is the zip code for manchester,United kingdom? |
Travel Info What is the zip code for manchester,United kingdom? Travel Tips Yeah Max is right it consists of 6 digets (in some cases 7) usually one letter and 2 numbers then one number & two letters. Depending on the area of Manchester the Post code can start with M, BL, OL, WN. Manchester is a large city and now considered a county (Greater Manchester) so you reallly need the street and area of Manchester for a full post code. Others depends on the address, the UK uses postcodes to narrow down an address to quite a specific area, i.e a street or 2 you could try this website but you will need to set up a username. http://www.royalmail.com/portal/rm... http://www.royalmail.com/portal/rm... really depends where you are sending it in Manchester... Manchester is a huge city... and not to mention the UK zip code is a little more complex, if i remember correctly, its 6 digits... You can find out in the ways listed above, however just as a point of interest it's called a post code in the UK not a zip code You do not need a postcode, just write the full address and it will get there. Whereas the original US zipcode identifies the post office serving that community, the UK postcode identifies a group of 6-10 private houses or one individual address for businesses receiving a lot of mail. A UK postcode (zip code) consists of 4 elements. The first one or two letters identifies the post town and for Manchester this is M, for Glasgow it is G, for Milton Keynes it is MK etc. Each post town is divided into numbered postal areas so you get M1, M2, M3 etc. These postal areas are usually numbered from the centre of the town outwards so for example LS1 and LS2 is the city centre of Leeds, LS3 to LS7 surround the city centre, LS8 to LS18 are around the edges of Leeds and LS19 to LS29 are the outlying towns and villages within the Leeds post code area. Each postal area is further divided into 'walks' or postal rounds which are again numbered. Finally there are 2 letters which narrow the area down to just a few houses or a single prominent building. The main Post Office uses the first postcode so the main Post Office in Leeds has LS1 1AA as it's postcode, the main one in Manchester would be M1 1AA and so on. Every address in the UK can be identified just from it's postcode and house number or name, e.g. PH65 4RT/4, Doesn't answer your question but at least you now know how the UK postcode system works. |
