EC4V postcode district

Postcodes and sectors

Roads filed under EC4V

Named roads first, then numbered ones. A road is filed under one district even where it runs through several, so a street missing here may be listed under a neighbouring district — which is why the address lookup never calls a British street absent. Great Britain has no open register of buildings, so a listed road never means a building on it exists.

Common questions about EC4V

What does an EC4V postcode tell you?

That the address lies in the EC4V district of the EC (East Central London) postcode area, and the place OS Open Names most often lists first for its postcodes is City of London. The district alone does not place a street: the inward half of the full postcode narrows the address to one of the district's 111 live postcodes.

What each figure means, and what a district page never says, is set out in Reading a British postcode district page; the glossary defines a postcode district, a postcode area, a postcode directory and a street register.
