Free UK area code lookup. Type a UK dialling code (01, 02) or a town name and see the city, county and region. This tool covers about 20 major UK codes, not every UK area code.
UK geographic area codes come in two forms — the original 01 prefix covering most of the country, and the newer 02 prefix introduced for major cities in 2000. Both are supported by this tool.
01865Oxford01904York0131Edinburgh01179BristolIntroduced with Subscriber Trunk Dialling (STD) in the 1960s. Still the most common geographic prefix.
020London0121Birmingham028Northern Ireland029CardiffIntroduced in 2000 for cities needing more number capacity. All 02X codes use 8-digit local numbers.
Major codes from London 020 to Edinburgh 0131. Type a code or a city and get the region — both directions. Codes outside this list return no match.
Every UK geographic number follows the same structure — country code, area code (STD), and local subscriber number. The area code is what this tool decodes.
Reverse Phone LookupDrop the +44 and add a leading 0 when dialling within the UK — so +44 20 becomes 020.
