The SW (South Western) postcode area, also known as the London SW postcode area,[1] is a group of postcode districts covering part of southwest London, England. The area originates from the South Western (SW1–SW10) and Battersea (SW11–SW20) districts[2] of the London post town. Postal administrationThe postcode area originated in 1857 as the SW district. In 1868 it gained some of the area of the abolished S district, with the rest going to SE. It was divided into numbered districts in 1917.[3] The South Western district[2] consists of the postcode districts SW1–SW10[2] and the Battersea district[2] consists of the postcode districts SW11–SW20.[7] {{clear}} List of postcode districtsThe approximate coverage of the postcode districts, with the historic postal district names shown in italics:[4] {{postcode area table start}}|- SW1A | | LONDON | Whitehall and Buckingham Palace | Westminster |- SW1E | | LONDON | between Buckingham Gate and Victoria Station | Westminster |- SW1H | | LONDON | east of Buckingham Gate | Westminster |- SW1P | | LONDON | triangular area between Victoria Station, the Houses of Parliament, and Vauxhall Bridge | Westminster |- SW1V | | LONDON | triangular area between Vauxhall Bridge, Chelsea Bridge, and Victoria Station; Pimlico proper | Westminster |- SW1W | | LONDON | Belgravia, Chelsea (part), area between Sloane Square and Victoria Station, south of Kings Road | Westminster, Kensington and Chelsea |- SW1X | | LONDON | Belgravia, north of Eaton Square, Knightsbridge (part), Chelsea (part) | Westminster, Kensington and Chelsea |- SW1Y | | LONDON | St James's | Westminster |- SW2 | | LONDON | Brixton district: Brixton Hill, Tulse Hill (part), Brixton (part), Streatham Hill, Clapham (part), Eastern parts of Balham, Lambeth | Lambeth |- SW3 | | LONDON | Chelsea district: Chelsea, Brompton, Knightsbridge (part) | Kensington and Chelsea |- SW4 | | LONDON | Clapham district: Clapham, Stockwell (part) | Lambeth, Wandsworth |- SW5 | | LONDON | Earls Court district: Earls Court | Kensington and Chelsea |- SW6 | | LONDON | Fulham district: Fulham, Parsons Green | Hammersmith and Fulham |- SW7 | | LONDON | South Kensington district: South Kensington, Knightsbridge (part) | Kensington and Chelsea, Westminster |- SW8 | | LONDON | South Lambeth district: South Lambeth, Wandsworth Road, Vauxhall, Battersea:Nine Elms (part), Clapham (part), NW area of Stockwell, Oval (part) | Lambeth, Wandsworth |- SW9 | | LONDON | Stockwell district: Brixton, Stockwell, Clapham (part), Oval (part) | Lambeth |- SW10 | | LONDON | West Brompton district: West Brompton, Chelsea (part) | Kensington and Chelsea, Hammersmith and Fulham |- SW11 | | LONDON | Battersea head district: Battersea, Clapham South | Wandsworth, Lambeth |- SW12 | | LONDON | Balham district: Balham, Clapham South, Wandsworth Common (part) | Wandsworth, Lambeth |- SW13 | | LONDON | Barnes district: Barnes | Richmond upon Thames |- SW14 | | LONDON | Mortlake district: Mortlake, East Sheen | Richmond upon Thames |- SW15 | | LONDON | Putney district: Putney, Roehampton, Kingston Vale, Putney Heath, Putney Vale, Richmond Park, Roehampton Vale | Wandsworth, Kingston upon Thames, Richmond upon Thames |- SW16 | | LONDON | Streatham district: Streatham, Streatham Common, Norbury, Streatham Park, Furzedown, Streatham Vale, Mitcham Common, Pollards Hill, Eastfields | Lambeth, Croydon, Wandsworth, Merton |- SW17 | | LONDON | Tooting district: Tooting, Mitcham (part) | Wandsworth, Merton |- SW18 | | LONDON | Wandsworth district: Wandsworth Town, Southfields, Earlsfield | Wandsworth |- SW19 | | LONDON | Wimbledon district: Wimbledon, Colliers Wood, Merton Park, Merton Abbey, Southfields, Morden (part) | Merton, Wandsworth |- SW20 | | LONDON | West Wimbledon district: Raynes Park, Lower Morden, Merton Park, Wimbledon Chase | Merton |- |} SW1SW1 was originally the South Western head district.

Within the SW1 postcode district there are several distinctive postcode units: {{div col}}
