The London region is more diverse then many people imagine. Usually, when people think about it, only the City of London and it's close surrounding area comes to mind but it is actually a vast region that reaches out much further and if you're looking for a home in the region then you shouldn't just focus on the centre but look outwards as well.
The GU postcode area is one of the outer regions of London and covers north-east Hampshire, west Surrey and a section of west Sussex. It's main postal sorting office is at the Jubilee Mail Centre in Hounslow. The Boroughs included here are Guildford, Waverly, East Hampshire, Hart, Rushmoor, Surrey Heath, Bracknell Forest, Woking, Runnymede and Chichester.
It, like all London postcode districts, was developed from 1917 to include smaller areas within each region. It would go from using just GU in it' postcodes to GU1 to GU35, as well as GU46, GU47, GU51, GU52 and the non-geographic postcode GU95 that is used by British Gas for PO box delivery and direct marketing. So in total there are thirty-nine main postcode districts with in the GU area.
