    [Misc] The official “Well I never knew that” thread

    London postcodes have little to do with the proximity or comparative location of the 1st postcodes (eg. N1, SE1, W1 etc). Instead, the numbers are based on the districts listed alphabetically. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_postal_district
