It's a post code, and you already have it. SE1 1JR.

SE1 1JR is the post code, which is the nearest thing to a zip code.

Unlike US codes, British post codes identify an address to within a few homes. So in your example, SE1 1JR is _probably_ unique to Lyon House, and you could identify the place with just the code (like when you give people your zip code and they pull up the city and state).

So although I don't recommend trying, you could mail something using just "Lyon House, SE1 1JR", or even "166-166 SE1 1JR" and the British post office could identify where you wanted to send it!.

More gorey details: the first letters identify the city, with London getting the compass points (N, S, E, W, NE, SW, NW, SE, plus WC and EC). Other cities get abbreviations, such as SO for Southampton, OX for Oxford, CA for Carlisle). Generally, with the first number it covers roughly the same sort of land as a US zip code.

Random factoid: outside a few central London codes, the numbers are assigned alphabetically, not geographically, so SE3 and SE4 may be nowhere near each other, but refer instead to places with names that are close alphabetically!

In UK zip code translates to read Post Code. It's already included in the address above = SE1 1JR. This Post Code is used by Royal Mail to speed up the sorting of mail for delivery. The code defines two or three houses in the street and the number 160-166 takes the letter right to the front door.

Nearest Tube Station to the above address is BOROUGH on the Northern Line - one stop south of LONDON BRIDGE.

SE1 1JR is the Post Code, which we use instead of Zip Codes over here, as I'm sure most respondents will have told you by now. Somebody recently said in a magazine that he may be able to sell his house to a humorous Democrat as his Postcode is AL9 0RE (Al Gore).

Greetings: You already have the 'zipcode' in your question - SE1 1JR. In the UK it is known as the post code and is how the Post Office sorts its mail. Best to you, Robert in Dawlish, Devon - EX7 9SZ!

A ZIP code is found in the USA not here in the UK. We use Post Codes instead.
