Kode pos di Britania Raya diperkenalkan oleh Royal Mail pada sekitar tahun 1959-1974. Kode pos itu terdiri dari kombinasi angka dan huruf, memiliki panjang 5 hingga 7 karakter, dan terdapat sekitar 1,8 juta kode yang berbeda. Bagian pertama dari kodepos dikenal dengan nama "kodepos distrik", yang merepresentasikan suatu distrik, dan terbagi atas 124 "kodepos area". Selain untuk mengenali alamat, kodepos juga digunakan untuk penghitungan premi asuransi, pembagian wilayah sensus, dan lainnya.
