- KML is from Wikidata The IG postcode area, also known as the Ilford postcode area, is a group of eleven postcode districts in England, within six post towns. These cover parts of eastern Greater London and south-west Essex. Inward mail for the area is sorted, along with mail for the E and RM postcode areas, at the Romford Mail Centre. The area served includes much of the London Borough of Redbridge, the western part of the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham, and the southwestern part of the Epping Forest district of Essex, while the western part of IG8 and IG11 covers a small part of the London Borough of Waltham Forest, and the London Borough of Newham. The area uses "IG" rather than "IL", as the latter could be misread as "LL" or "L1". The "G" is derived from final letter of the adjacent postal town Barking, a feature shared with the SM postcode area, where the chosen letters also appear to combine the names of two neighbouring places.
