The L postcode area, also known as the Liverpool postcode area, [2] is a group of postcode districts in North West England. Together they cover central and southern Merseyside, southern West Lancashire, and a small part of north-west Cheshire. Its four post towns are Bootle, Liverpool, Ormskirk, and Prescot.

Contents

In 1999 the L postcodes on the Wirral Peninsula (L41 to L49 and L60 to L66) were transferred to the CH postcode area. [3]

Mail for the L postcode area is processed at Warrington Mail Centre, along with mail for the CW, WA and WN postcode areas.
