About This Quiz

In the UK, each city and town has its own postcode prefix. These short monograms may seem understated, but they carry the imprint of a place and a city. From B in Birmingham to AB in Aberdeen, they've long been more than just codes for sorting mail; they're more like geotags.

The quiz carefully selected 60 representative cities in the UK and divided them into two parts, each with 30 questions. Your task is straightforward: write down the abbreviation of the postal area corresponding to the name of the city. Sounds simple, right? Some questions may be immediately reactive, while others may leave you struggling for a few seconds. It's okay, take it easy, and exercise your memory by the way.

Whether you're a geography enthusiast, a friend living in the UK, or just looking for a little challenge, it's a fun and informative adventure. See how many you can fill in correctly, and invite a friend to come and compare!
