IP8 postcode district

Postcodes and sectors

485 of the district's 556 postcodes are live in the ONS Postcode Directory of August 2026. A postcode directory says whether a code is in use, never who is there. The live postcodes centre on 52.06308, 1.07968, which locates the district, not a building.

Companies registered in IP8

Companies House lists 478 companies with a registered office in IP8; none of them at an address shared by 25 or more companies (1 October 2026 snapshot). 25 is the count at which the address lookup reports a company cluster.

Roads filed under IP8

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 IP8

What does an IP8 postcode tell you?

That the address lies in the IP8 district of the IP (Ipswich) postcode area, and the place OS Open Names most often lists first for its postcodes is Ipswich. The district alone does not place a street: the inward half of the full postcode narrows the address to one of the district's 485 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.
