How to write a United Kingdom address
The alphanumeric postcode (e.g. SW1A 2AA) gets its own line and pinpoints delivery to a handful of doors. County names are no longer required by Royal Mail.
Tips for shipping forms
When a form splits the address into fields, map the example above from the bottom up: the last line is the country, the line above carries the postal code and city, and everything else fills the street address lines in order. Keep diacritics if the form accepts them; plain ASCII is also universally deliverable.
