Thursday November 27, 2008

Did you know there are 18 High Roads in London, about 50 High Streets? There are four Manor Places and 29 Manor Roads. Without Postal Codes, you'd have no way of distinguishing one from the other or finding your way between hundreds of duplicated street names in London and countless other cities and towns around Britain. So when you are noting down the key information you need for your trip to the UK, don't forget to make a note of all those letters and numbers at the ends of addresses.
