W1G postcode district

Postcodes and sectors

703 of the district's 898 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 51.51933, -0.14827, which locates the district, not a building.

Companies registered in W1G

Companies House lists 7,333 companies with a registered office in W1G; 5,033 of them at addresses 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 W1G

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 W1G

What does a W1G postcode tell you?

That the address lies in the W1G district of the W (West London) postcode area, and the place OS Open Names most often lists first for its postcodes is City of Westminster. The district alone does not place a street: the inward half of the full postcode narrows the address to one of the district's 703 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.
