Question

Which area of london is tel area code starting with 0208856 covering please ?Is that Greenwich ?

Answer 1

Is it Ealing?

Answer 2

020 numbers are much more flexible now so it could be anywhere in London.

However, 0181 856 (which was where this number was formed from) was Woolwich, Eltham and Greenwich. It is *most likely* one of these places.

Answer 3

give us the last 4 numbers then well tell you

Answer 4

Yes, roughly. Greenwich, Eltham, Kidbrooke, Charlton. At the moment it's very unlikely that 020 8856 xxxx numbers will be used anywhere else.

If you are trying to trace a company, though, bear in mind that some companies buy 020 numbers then forward the calls to their offices elsewhere in the country. This makes it look like they have a London presence when they don't. (This practice is most common with 020 70xx and 020 71xx numbers).

Answer 5

It looks like it covers the Greenwich borough of London.  In that borough you have areas such as Charlton and Eltham that this number prefix falls under

Answer 6

I always find one of the best ways to check is to Google (or Yahoo, whoops!), "0208856" and check the sites that come back. If you check an out of London code and have the first digit of the last part it helps clarify it's location as those codes can cover a wide area.

Answer 7

I lived in West London for a while and my telephone number began 0208 so Im assuming its London West.
