England postcodes

In the Netherlands, it is often already a hassle to find the correct postcode for the right address. When doing business with England, it is no different. Especially if you are not familiar with the regions, gathering your data correctly can be quite difficult.

Postcodes in England

England, like the Netherlands, has a postcode system based on regions. The postcode consists of 5 to 8 characters, where the first two letters indicate a larger region or city. The following 1 or 2 digits indicate a specific area within this region. This is followed by three more characters, consisting of at least 1 letter and 2 digits.

If you are going to export to England, it is useful to know in advance which postcode area your destination is located in. You could, of course, Google this every time, but I would not recommend it! I would download the handy postcode map and hang it above your desk, so you always have quick insight into the correct postcode.
