Usually it`s the distance to the town/city centre.
I don`t like Coventry ,I got sent there once - it wasn`t nice ,no-one spoke to me LOL. |

The original milestones measured the distance to the main post office in each town. I suspect that the road signs measure to the same spot.
However, I have seen 2 signs between Stafford & Derby where the distance goes from 8 to 9 as you get closer, so I reckon there's room for error. |

It means 'to the centre'.
There would be quite a lot of variation if you are going to the outskirts of a city due to some British cities being quite big.

Distances to city centres are measured to the main (Crown) post office. |

it means that its approximately that distance as the distance is mesured on a map by striaght line and not by road distance |

id thought it would be to the outskirts but from some of the answers it must be the post offices in the towns. |

Supposedly to the centre, but why would you want to go there? |

The outskirts of the city/town is usually the distance shown.
It is a bit confusing I admit, but there you go - you have your answer! |
