Belgravia’s Man and Van

Life is all about making choices. This is why we have to be careful when making an important decision because making the incorrect one can greatly alter our lives. Choosing a new area to live in is one of the things we have to contend with but the easy choice can be made by relocating to the SW1W area.

The South Western postcode district in London encompasses a wide area that includes the Boroughs of Westminster, the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, Lambeth, Hammersmith and Fulham, Wandsworth, Richmond Upon Thames, Croydon and Merton. For such a large area though, one postcode wouldn’t be enough so in the last one-hundred years or so postcode districts have been split into smaller section. There are currently twenty-eight of them in the South Western region, spanning from SW1 to SW20, with SW1 itself having many spin-offs within itself. The SW1-10 codes cover  the London and parts pf the area and SW11-20 represent portions of the Battersea district. The Boroughs included within SW are There is also the SW99 code that does not represent specific place but instead is utilised for direct marketing and PO boxes by businesses. These separate postcodes were introduced to improve mail delivery, street signs, navigation and travel.

One of the SW offshoots is SW1W. It covers Belgravia, south of Kings Road, and the area between Sloane Square and Victoria Station. These fall into the Boroughs of Westminster and Kensington and Chelsea and use the post town address of LONDON. The entirety of SW1 is bounded by the SW3, SW7, W1, W2, WC2 and SW6, areas, with SE1 and SE11 falling on the other side of the Thames. This means that places like  Chelsea, Mayfair, Kennington, Knightsbridge, Mayfair, Soho Lambeth and many more are all close by.
