The BT68 postcode in the Belfast district of Northern Ireland is typical of the area, with sprawling green spaces filled with historic buildings and landmarks. Located only a few miles from Belfast city centre, BT68 is made up of five main urban areas - Ballysillan, Legoniel, Carr's Glen, Alexander Park and Glen Road.
Ballysillan is the only remaining Victorian village in the area, with red-brick terraced homes and shops, a local church and a primary school. Legoniel, an affluent, suburban area of Belfast, is the new home of Belfast's professional football club, Linfield. The shopping, leisure and entertainment opportunities in the area are diverse, as its charming, tree-lined streets offer residential and cultural facilities.
Carr's Glen, home to the Mourne Mountains and Belfast Zoo, is a small residential area nestled between Legoniel and Alexander Park. With post-war council housing completely replaced in 2012, the area has been completely redeveloped. South Belfast's Alexander Park is a conglomeration of large detached houses standing in leafy surroundings, with nearby galleries and restaurants giving a cosmopolitan feel.
The widely recognised Glen Road is the BT68 postcode's most significant area, home to the city's famous Queen's University Belfast. Spanning over 46 acres and hosting world-renowned research centres, Queen's is a hub of creativity and innovation. Comprising the Ulster Museum and the grand Ulster Hall, this area is filled with beautiful architecture and stunning views of rolling hills.
At the heart of the postcode is a stark contrast between affluence and deprivation, with a mix of green open spaces, redbrick terraces and modern housing estates covering the areas.

Deciphering Crime Rates - a Deep Dive Into UK Postcode Analysis
Ever wondered about the crime rate in your UK postcode? You're not alone. We've dug deep into the data, uncovering trends and patterns that'll make your head spin.
Death of the High Street?
The BBC reports that despite councils' attempts to kurb them, the UK's high streets have seen a huge growth in fast food outlets. Could this mark the death knell for the Great British high street, and what can we do about it to halt its decline?
Discrimination by Postcode
You really couldn't make it up, could you? Some of the country's most vulnerable people are missing out on their weekly £25 Cold Weather Payment, just because the system that's in operation is discriminating against them because payments are based on postcode, rather than geographic location.
The Redesign is Underway
Well, the current website was absolutely in dire need of a good redesign - from the ground up. So I set out to pull it all apart and get it up and running again to become the most comprehensive guide to every postcode in the UK. And it's been a long, tough job from start to finish - and quite possibly the biggest project I've ever undertaken.
