Postcode area in United Kingdom

The E (Eastern) postcode area, also known as the London E postcode area,[2] 🧾 is the part of the London post town covering much of east London, England. It borders the N postcode area 🧾 to the west, both north of the tidal Thames. Since closure of the East London mail centre, its mail is 🧾 sorted at Romford Mail Centre together with IG and RM postcode areas.

Postal administration [ edit ]

The current E postcode area 🧾 was originally formed in 1866 as a merger of the E and NE areas, which had been created in 1858. 🧾 In 1917, the postal districts were numbered alphabetically by their most important parish, chapelry, topographical or built environment feature.[3] As 🧾 of 2004, the district names do not form part of the postal address.[2] High demand caused sector 9 of the 🧾 E1 postcode district to be split and recoded in 1999 to create an E1W postcode district around Wapping,[4] but the 🧾 rest of the district did not gain an additional character. When districts are used for purposes other than the sorting 🧾 of mail, such as use as a geographic reference and on street signs, E1 and E1W continue to be commonly 🧾 classed as one 'district'. The E postcode area contains two non-geographic postcode districts for high-volume business users, E77 and E98.[5]

The 🧾 Eastern District Office is on Whitechapel Road and was the eastern terminus for the former London Post Office Railway, which 🧾 has been mothballed since 2003. The railway ran 10.5 kilometres (6.5 mi) to the Paddington Head District Sorting Office.

The E20 🧾 postcode has been used fictionally in television soap-opera EastEnders since 1985. It has been a real postcode since 2011 carved 🧾 from and only bordered by the E15 postcode, its buildings marketed as and often self-identifying as Olympic Park and Queen 🧾 Elizabeth Park. It includes landmark sports venues built for the 2012 Summer Olympics.[6]

List of postcode districts [ edit ]

The approximate 🧾 coverage of the postcode districts,[7] with the historic postal district names[8][9] in italics, is as follows:

The E17 postcode district is 🧾 one of four to have a population above 100,000.[10]

Boundaries [ edit ]

The E1 postcode district is bounded by the River 🧾 Thames to the south. Postcode districts E6, E14 and E16 also have river frontages in the south. The River Roding 🧾 and the North Circular Road form part of the boundary in the east. The postcode area is roughly the combined 🧾 area of the London Boroughs of Tower Hamlets, Newham and Waltham Forest. Also, the eastern part of the London Borough 🧾 of Hackney, the western sections of the London Boroughs of Redbridge (E11, E12, E18) and Barking and Dagenham (E6) and 🧾 a small part of the Epping Forest District (E4), are within the postcode area.

In popular culture [ edit ]
