SW2–SW10 form the inner northeastern part of the postcode area, with the SW3, SW5, SW6, SW7 and SW10 districts north of the river. SW11–SW20 forms the outer southwestern part of the postcode area and is entirely south of the River Thames. The postcode area includes all of the London Borough of Wandsworth, the western portion of the London Borough of Lambeth, the southern sections of the City of Westminster and the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, the southeastern portion of the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, the northeastern area of the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames and the northern sections of the London Borough of Merton and London Borough of Croydon.

Famous quotes containing the word boundaries:

    We must be generously willing to leave for a time the narrow boundaries in which our individual lives are passed ... In this fresh, breezy atmosphere ... we will be surprised to find that many of our familiar old conventional truths look very queer indeed in some of the sudden side lights thrown upon them.
    Bertha Honore Potter Palmer (1849–1918)

    Not too many years ago, a child’s experience was limited by how far he or she could ride a bicycle or by the physical boundaries that parents set. Today ... the real boundaries of a child’s life are set more by the number of available cable channels and videotapes, by the simulated reality of videogames, by the number of megabytes of memory in the home computer. Now kids can go anywhere, as long as they stay inside the electronic bubble.
    Richard Louv (20th century)

    Ideas are not thoughts; the thought respects the boundaries that the idea ignores thereby failing to realize itself.
    Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
