When actually we are in London and have been since 1965 when we were incorporated via the London Local Government Act. Our cultural identity and our passions are now very different from people living in Essex and even further removed from the far reaches of Norfolk. Please join our campaign for a London Postcode for Redbridge. </p><p>A London postcode is very possible and Stratford Village recently attained the newest London Postcode.
