The UK has thousands of postcodes ! Each postcode relates to just a handful of properties. UK postcodes have a number of formats... Typical examples of the three formats are... SW1A 1AA, TS18 1AA, B1 2JP

The UK equivalent of a ZIP code, only it is much more specific. It gives the location of a number of houses in a street. Together with the house number, it gives a unique location. As well as the postal service, postcodes are used in satnavs and websites for finding locations.

An example is "RG12 9PQ". In this case, RG refers to the nearest post town (which would be Reading, Berkshire), the number 12 referrs to a specific zone in the urban area or the vicinity of Reading, and the remaining charactors pinpoint a location.

We have postcodes in the UK, similar in some ways to zip codes but down to a much finer lever.

See the Related Link. This will give the postcode of any address. You need the street name and the number.

The UK has tens of thousands of post codes, each one covering about 10 residential addresses. However, provided that you have the full and correct address of the recipient, your letter should get there even if you haven't got the post code.

The Royal Mail uses Postcodes.

You can use the link, below, to type in the place where you want to send mail, and find the postcode that you need.

Zip codes aren't used in the UK. The post codes used are much more specific than codes in other countries and narrow addresses down to around 10 houses. Large businesses or organisations would probably have their very own post code. A UK post code would look something like this: SW16 3RE
The UK does not have ZIP codes, it has postal codes.

There are many thousands of them, some refer to as few as 2 - 3 houses only.

They are broken down by areas or regions, cities, districts in cities or towns nearby, streets, a few houses in a street.
The UK (which includes England) doesn't use ZIP codes. Post codes are used instead which are much more detailed than ZIP codes, therefore there are tens of thousands of them. A UK post code will typically cover around 10 residential addresses although large buildings usually have their own code. A UK post code would look something like BN24 8LY
The United Kingdom has thousands of different post codes and an individual post code typically covers about 10 residential addresses.
The Uk as a whole does not have a singualr post code. Like the USA who use Zip codes there are a vast arrey codes for streets and business areas.

The United Kingdom has hundreds of Post Codes. They operate their own system of codes, just as there are numerous Zip codes for the US State of Ohio, for example.
