Postcode Fun Facts

The Queen is one of few people in the UK that has her very own postcode. Well, it's Buckingham Palace's postcode really, which is SW1A 1AA.

Postcodes are split into two parts, the outcode and the incode. The second half of a postcode (e.g. 1AA) tells the sorting office which of the 9,000 sectors in the UK a letter or parcel should go to.

Originally, London had 10 postal districts - N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW, EC and WC. However, NE was transferred to Newcastle, and S to South Yorkshire.

With an average age of just 23 years old, the postcode B4 (Ladywood in Birmingham) has the youngest population of any UK postcode.

Did you know that even Father Christmas has his own personalised postcode. Send your letter to Santa at: Santa, Santa's Grotto, Reindeerland, XM4 5HQ. Santa will respond to as many letters as he can.

The combination of characters that make up British postcodes means that there are approximately 27 million postcodes in operation for addresses across the UK.

Royal Mail won't allow you to post alcoholic drinks with alcohol at greater than 70% ABV, and you're not allowed to send ice, for obvious reasons!

The Post Office Investigation Branch is the world's oldest recognised criminal investigations authority. It was established in 1793 to investigate mail theft.
