Following on from my ORK Brooklyn poster post <link> I went in search of a London map. I found one, thanks wikipedia. But what I don’t get is that the allocation seems totally random. Surely N1 should be next to N2.

Ok, you are a little stupid. You probably think you’re a so smart. But the reason why n� 1 isn’t next to n�2 is because the map is divided in west, northwest, etc.
So, putting n�1 next to n�2 would be wrong.

The person who left the first comment is both rude and stupid. The reason is that, after the 1 postcode district which is where the head sorting office is, the postcodes are numbered alphabetically, SE2 = Abey Wood, SE3 = Blackheath etc.

how can it be right that its sorted alphabetically. N1 is islington, and N2 is Finchley. So how does that work?

Yes it is alphabetical – The 1 code – ie N1, W1, NW1 etc is the exception as the areas historic sorting hq, but then it goes mostly alphabetically: N2=East Finchley N3=Finchley N4=Finsbury Park, N5=Highbury etc.
Someone could help me with NW11 though cos that is Golders Green and not in alphabetical order
