Central London areas are divided into what are known as LONDON POSTCODES. Each small section of London is allocated a 1-3 letter prefix that corresponds to its compass location and then a following number to distinguish it from adjoining houses/streets. For instance N3 is Finchley while the adjacent area is N2 which is East Finchley and they are both located in North London. The Centre of London is given the letter 'C' for CENTRAL, and is split into WC1 (where WC stands for West Central), WC2, EC1 (East Central), EC2, EC3, EC4. For anyone who doesn't know London that system is a little misleading. The EC1-4 postcodes are actually referred to now as the 'City of London'. The W1 postcode is often thought of as central London because it is the Tourist and clubbing centre, it's also known as the West End, but it is actually slightly West of centre. Officially London centres on Charing Cross Station in WC1. click here for more about postcodes, constituencies and boroughs Click area name for hotels in that area
