Here’s how to write England’s address correctly:

1. Addressee line - The recipient's full name, using appropriate titles for the region (Your majesty, innit?)
2. (tooltip: premise and thoroughfare) Building number and street name - The building name or number (In cities like London, English addresses can start with the floor number), following that, the street the address is on (No punctuation between the two.)
3. (tooltip: locality) City - The city or town the address is in.
4. (tooltip: postal code) Postcode - Include the 5 to 7-digit postal code on its own delivery line.
5. Country - To tie it up in a bow, the country code of GBR.
