The SW (South Western) post code area that is also called London SW postcode is a cluster of postcode districts that covers sections of SW London, England. The location starts from South Western SW1-SW10 and Battersea SW11 to SW20, London post town districts.
SW1 was initially the head district of South Western. Its density development is high and recently been divided into smaller districts. Apart from mail sorting, the smaller districts are used for other purposes like on street signs and geographic reference; the SW1 subdivisions classed further as one 'district'. Within the South Western postcode district there are other distinctive postcode units.
Postcode area began in the year 1857 as the South West district. It gained part of the abolished S district area in 1868, while the rest went to SE. It was subdivided into several districts in 1917. The SW district comprises of postcode districts from 1-10 and the Battersea district comprises of postcode districts 11-20. South-west 95 is a non-geographic postcode district which was used by the section for work and Pensions. The postcode area belongs to the London post town and it does not require dependent localities.
The SW postcode area comprises postcode districts on each sides of River Thames. The South west 1 postcode district covers the central London area on River Thames north bank, approximately between Chelsea Bridge and Hungerford Bridge. This includes Belgravia, Pimlico, and parts of Brompton and Westminster. It contains Westminster Abbey, Whitehall, Westminster School, Dolphin Square, the Tate Gallery and Thames House. SW 2-10 forms the internal northeastern part of the area with SW 3, 5, 6, 7 and 10 districts north of River Thames.
SW11-20, on the other hand, forms the outer SW part of the postcode area. It is wholly south of River Thames. This postcode area contains all of London Borough of Wandswarth, western part of London Borough of Lambeth, the southern parts of Westminster City and Royal Borough of Chelsea and Kenington, the SE part of London borough of Chelsea and Hammersmith, the NE area of London Borough of Richmond, upon Thames and northern parts of London Borough of both Croydon and Merton.
SW 19 Area encompasses Colliers, Wimbledon, Merton and Colliers Wood. People have lived in Wimbledon since, in the minimum, the Iron Age when Wimbledon Common's hill fort is considered to have been established. In the year 1087 when Domesday Book was compiled, it was a section of manor of Mortlake.
The proprietorship of the manor of Wimbledon alternated between many rich households several times during its existence. This area also attracted a number of rich families that established big houses like Wimbledon, Warren and Eagle House. The village advanced with a steady rural population that coexisted with wealthy traders and nobility from the city.
In 18th century, the Fox and Dog public house was established as a stagecoach stop from London to Portsmouth. In the year 1838, the London and South Western Railway established a station to the SE of the village at the foot of Wimbledon hill. The area of this station shifted the spotlight of later development of the town away from the initial village centre.
