The UB postcode area, also known as the Southall postcode area,[2] is a group of eleven postcode districts in England, which are subdivisions of six post towns. These postcode districts cover parts of west and north-west London, as well as a very small part of Buckinghamshire. UB is an abbreviation of Uxbridge.
The main sorting office is in Greenford.[3] In names of London Boroughs, in quotes for clarity, it takes in most of 'Hillingdon' and roughly a western third of 'Ealing', the southern part of UB2 covers a very small part of 'Hounslow', and a very small part of UB5: 'Harrow'.
The west of UB9 covers nearly all of Denham civil parish (and all of the old village) in the South Bucks district of Buckinghamshire.
The area closely resembles an obsolete county division, Elthorne Hundred.
