The postcode SW2 1HU is in the LSOA area called 'Lambeth 021C', in the Brixton Hill ward.

The geographical demographic data for SW2 1HU has been extracted from the Office of National Statistics, responsible for the collection and publication of UK statistics relating to population, society and economy. (ONS)
