A21 Road (England)
The A21 is a trunk road in Southern England, one of several which connect London and various commuter towns to the south coast. It provides a link to Hastings, East Sussex and parts of Kent. Half of the distance covered is over gently undulating terrain, with some hills and bends. Traffic is often is slow-moving, particularly on weekdays on the short single carriageway stretches; and in summer with holiday traffic. Because of this, people have described the A21 as "a joke" and businesspeople have been reported to "hate coming down the A21". There have been many proposals to upgrade parts of the A21 in response to this. Parts of the A21 follow the historic Toll road, turnpike roads: for example the section from Sevenoaks to Royal Tunbridge Wells, Tunbridge Wells, opened in 1710; other sections of the road were similarly dealt with later in the century. It is also the location of the first wildlife overbridge in the United Kingdom, near Lamberhurst. The road between the M25 motorw ...

UK Postcodes
Postal codes used in the United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories and Crown dependencies are known as postcodes (originally, postal codes). They are alphanumeric (the UK is one of only 11 countries or territories to use alphanumeric codes out of the 160 postcode using members of the ICU) and were adopted nationally between 11 October 1959 and 1974, having been devised by the General Post Office (Royal Mail). The system was designed to aid in sorting mail for delivery. It uses alphanumeric codes to designate geographic areas. A full postcode identifies a group of addresses (typically around 10) or a major delivery point. It consists of an outward code and inward code. The outward code indicates the area and district, while the inward code specifies the sector and delivery point. The initial postcode system evolved from named postal districts introduced in London and other large cities from 1857. Districts in London were then subdivided in 1917, with each allocated a distinct ...
