Talk:London postal district

W1

Why was W1 a Head District in its own right, completely separate from the rest of W? Did W1 have as much mail as W2-14 (inclusive)? Norvo (talk) 22:44, 29 November 2014 (UTC)

Inner London areas

"The E, EC, N, IG, SE, RM, CM and WC postcode areas (the eight London postal districts) comprised the inner area of the London postal region and correspond to the London post town." Surely it should be N, NW, SW, SE, W, WC, E and EC postcodes? SaundersW (talk) 12:20, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

Re-pointing external link

The link on 'Establishment of London postal districts – mailing list discussion' goes to the Conservation OnLine website (which should be linked to from the Art Conservation page): what should it be? Jackiespeel (talk) 20:49, 30 November 2018 (UTC)

Retraction of E division understatement

At the moment, the article only states that the London postal district boundary was retracted in the east, when areas in Essex, around Ilford, became part of other postal towns. this is a massive understatement! Literally, just under half of the entire original area was completely removed and added elsewhere in all directions, not just east. The ramifications of which are still felt to this day by Outer Londoners who fight daily regarding their London identity. Yet there seems to be no information stating how or why this came to be, or who was involved in this decision making process. There has to be information around somewhere regarding the postal administration's decision on this? Justgravy (talk) 18:13, 15 December 2020 (UTC)
