History

The London postal arrangements were further refined in 1917 when the sub-districts (as appended to postal addresses) were given new alpha-numeric identities for public use;^[1] the districts usually cover a wider area than their names might suggest. As of 2004, the district names do not form part of the postal address. ^[2]

The boundaries of the area and its numbered districts have changed over time and are the result of the working requirements of the Post Office. They are not tied to those of the local authority areas served; consequently a locality name might describe varying areas.
