SW postcode area

The London SW postcode area, commonly referred to as the SW (South Western) postcode region, is a collection of 20 postcode districts located in the English post town of London. It is the only area within the London post town to lie on both sides of the River Thames and is made up of the South Western operating district (including the subdivisions of postcode district SW1, as well as SW2 through SW10) and the Battersea operational district (encompassing SW11 through SW20). Mail for the region, as well as mail for the TW, KT, and GU postcode areas, is sorted at the Jubilee Mail Centre in Hounslow.
The SW district was where the postcode area first appeared in 1857. With the remainder going to SE, it obtained some of the very brief-lived S district's land in 1868. In 1917, it was split up into numbered districts. The postcode districts SW1 to SW10 make up the South Western district, and the postcode districts SW11 to SW20 make up the portion that formerly had its headquarters in Battersea.
The most significant parish, chapel, topographical, or built environment feature names up to ten were listed alphabetically after the South Western head district, which was given the designation SW1. similar to the former "head district" of Battersea SW11.
Nine London Boroughs are partially covered by the SW postcode area. It includes the southern portions of the City of Westminster, the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, and the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham to the north of the River Thames. It includes all of the London Borough of Wandsworth, a portion of the London Borough of Lambeth on the west, a portion of the London Borough of Croydon in the north, a portion of the London Borough of Merton in the northwest, and a portion of the London Boroughs of Richmond upon Thames and Kingston upon Thames in the northeast.
