Postcode (UK)
A postcode is the alphanumeric geographic code used in the UK to identify defined postal areas for delivery. Managed by Royal Mail, postcodes help sort mail and group addresses into small, logical units. A postcode typically covers between 15 and 100 addresses, though numbers vary widely.
