This page gives you a random UK address with a correctly shaped postcode, a real post town and a +44 phone number, ready to drop into a form or a test. Generate one card, or up to 500 rows for a CSV or JSON fixture. The house number, street and postcode are made up, so none of them point at a real letterbox.
UK addresses put the building number or name first, then the street. A locality line is common outside city centres. Post towns are written in capitals on envelopes; we keep title case for UI. Field order on a United Kingdom label is building number and street, locality if any, then post town and postcode on one line with no comma (Royal Mail style, no country line for UK mail). The postcode follows outward code + inward code (e.g. SW1A 1AA, M1 1AE, EH1 1YZ). People copy EC1A 1BB into screenshots. We invent the rest of the code so you are not pointing at a known delivery point.
UK numbers are +44, dropping the leading 0 from the area code (for example +44 20 7946 0958). Generated values follow the shape, not Ofcom allocations. Calling code is +44. ISO codes are GB and GBR. Default timezone on country-level rows is Europe/London. Coordinates jitter around 54.8, -2.5 (Europe).
We also list 4 countries in the nested atlas (for example England). Related city generators (London, Mumbai, Dubai, and the rest of the curated set) keep postal prefixes tighter than a country-wide run. Country-wide bulk is still useful when your test does not care which metro the pin lands in.
Generate up to 500 rows and download CSV or JSON. XML, YAML, vCard and SQL are there too. Count chips go 1, 10, 50, 100 and 500. There is no account and no API key. For curl examples see /address-generator-api.
Do not use a dummy United Kingdom address for shipping, billing, identity, or legal service. We never generate SSNs or credit cards. Phone numbers are invented. If a validator in your stack is stricter than outward code + inward code (e.g. SW1A 1AA, M1 1AE, EH1 1YZ), treat a failure as a product bug to fix, not as a reason to paste a real household.

Figma handoff for a United Kingdom form
A designer mocking a United Kingdom account-creation screen needs type that looks right at 14px. Real customer files are off limits. They generate a dummy United Kingdom card, paste the street and postcode into Figma, and keep the phone in the local +44 pattern (+44 1792 701341). Reviewers stop asking whether the ZIP is fake. The format is the point. Timezone on the card is Europe/London so a later settings panel has a plausible default.

UK address format rules
A UK address is written top to bottom, most specific first:
- Building. A number and street (14 Station Road), or a house name, sometimes with a number too. Flats go first: Flat 3, 14 Station Road.
- Locality (optional). A village or district, used when the post town covers a wide area.
- Post town. The town Royal Mail sorts through. Royal Mail asks for it in capitals on mail.
- Postcode. On the same line as the post town, straight after it with no comma: London W1G 5UR, Birmingham B15 5ZU.
You don't need a county. Royal Mail stopped relying on counties years ago, and the postcode does that job.
How a UK postcode works
Every postcode has two parts split by one space.
- Outward code (before the space): a 1 or 2 letter area, then a district number, sometimes followed by a letter. SW is south west London, M is Manchester, EH is Edinburgh, B is Birmingham.
- Inward code (after the space): always one digit then two letters. The letters C, I, K, M, O and V are never used in this part.
That gives six shapes, which is what your validator should accept:
| Shape | Example pattern |
|---|---|
| A9 9AA | M1 1AE |
| A99 9AA | B33 8TH |
| AA9 9AA | CR2 6XH |
| AA99 9AA | DN55 1PT |
| A9A 9AA | W1A 0AX |
| AA9A 9AA | SW1A 1AA, EC1A 1BB |
With the space, a UK postcode is 6 to 8 characters long.
UK phone number format
UK numbers are +44 followed by the number without its leading 0. London's 020 7946 0958 becomes +44 20 7946 0958. Mobiles start 07 at home and +44 7 internationally. You'll often see +44 (0)20 in email signatures, but you can't dial that bracketed zero, so don't store it that way. If you need numbers that are safe for screenshots, Ofcom sets aside 020 7946 0000 to 020 7946 0999 and 07700 900000 to 07700 900999 for drama and fiction.
UK address bugs QA testers keep hitting
- Postcode field too short. A
maxlengthof 7 cuts off AA9A 9AA codes once the space is typed. - Strict space and case rules. Users type sw1a1aa. Accept it, then normalise to SW1A 1AA instead of throwing an error.
- Regex written for one shape. Plenty of hand-rolled patterns reject W1A 0AX or EC1A 1BB because they don't expect a letter after the district number.
- US form leftovers. A required State field, a "ZIP code" label, or a digits-only postal input.
- No house number. Named houses with no number break parsers that insist line 1 starts with digits.
- Lookup-only address entry. Postcode lookup won't find a generated postcode. If there's no "enter address manually" link, your test (and some real users) get stuck.
- Crown Dependencies. Jersey (JE), Guernsey (GY) and Isle of Man (IM) postcodes look British but aren't in the UK. Check your shipping and tax rules treat them on purpose, not by accident.
Use cases
- UK checkout flows in staging, to confirm the postcode step, lookup fallback and delivery options behave.
- Figma mockups for British users, where a flat number and a locality line make the address block taller than a US one.
- Localisation tests that swap a US address for a UK one and check labels change from ZIP and State to Postcode, with County optional or hidden.

FAQ
Are these real United Kingdom addresses?
No. Street lines, postcodes, and phone numbers are synthetic. United Kingdom is a real place we cover, but the combinations are invented. They are not homes, not businesses, and not a mailing list.
What postcode format does United Kingdom use?
United Kingdom uses a postcode shaped as outward code + inward code (e.g. SW1A 1AA, M1 1AE, EH1 1YZ). A published example is EC1A 1BB. Rows for United Kingdom follow the United Kingdom postcode pattern (outward code + inward code (e.g. SW1A 1AA, M1 1AE, EH1 1YZ)). A typical example is EC1A 1BB. Digits and letters after that shape are invented. We never promise a code that will pass a carrier checksum.
Can I ship or bill using a dummy United Kingdom address?
No. Do not use these rows for shipping, billing, KYC, voter files, or legal notices. They exist for mockups, QA, and test databases. If a carrier accepts one, that is still the wrong use.
How many United Kingdom dummy addresses can I generate?
Pick 1, 10, 50, 100, or 500 per run: generate up to 500 rows and download CSV or JSON (XML, YAML, vCard and SQL work too). Copy a single card when you only need one block.
Do you generate names, SSNs, or credit cards for United Kingdom?
Never. Each card includes a synthetic +44 phone. We do not invent Social Security numbers, national IDs, payment cards, dates of birth, or personal names. Pair a separate fake-name tool if your form needs a person.
How do I get a random UK postcode?
Press Generate and copy the postcode field. It follows one of the six real shapes and a real area prefix, but the full code is made up.
Is there a UK zip code?
Not officially. The UK uses postcodes, like SW1A 1AA, which mix letters and digits. If a form asks for a UK zip code, it wants the postcode.
Can I get a fake UK address for a form?
For your own testing, yes. Copy a card into your staging form. For a real company's form, use your real address.
Will a fake UK postcode pass validation?
It will pass a format check. It won't pass a lookup against Royal Mail's address file, because the full postcode and street pairing doesn't exist.
Can I get a fake London address?
Yes. Search London, or open the London page, and every row uses London as the post town with a London postcode area.
