The UB postcode area, also known as the Southall postcode area, is a group of eleven postcode districts in England which are subdivisions of six post towns. UB comes from an abbreviation of Uxbridge. These postcode districts cover parts of west and north-west London, as well as a very small part of Buckinghamshire.
The main sorting office is in Greenford (Green Park Way) and the area served includes much of the London Borough of Hillingdon and the western part of the London Borough of Ealing, while the western part of UB9 covers a small part of the South Bucks district of Buckinghamshire and the southern part of UB2 covers a very small part of the London Borough of Hounslow.

Famous quotes containing the word area:
“Many women are reluctant to allow men to enter their domain. They don’t want men to acquire skills in what has traditionally been their area of competence and one of their main sources of self-esteem. So while they complain about the male’s unwillingness to share in domestic duties, they continually push the male out when he moves too confidently into what has previously been their exclusive world.”
—Bettina Arndt (20th century)
