W1B – Overview
This postcode covers the heart of London’s West End retail district, including Regent Street and Oxford Circus. While primarily commercial, the limited residential property here — often luxury apartments above historic buildings — commands very high prices due to its iconic location and scarcity of stock. Its status comes from being in the centre of London’s retail and cultural core, within walking distance of Soho, Mayfair and Marylebone.
