<br />
The '''BR postcode area''', also known as the '''Bromley postcode area''',<ref>Royal Mail, ''Address Management Guide'', (2004)</ref> is a group of eight postcode districts in [[England]], within seven [[post town]]s. These cover part of south-eastern [[Greater London]], as well as a small part of north-west [[Kent]].<br />
<br />
The area covers much of the [[London Borough of Bromley]], as well as small parts of the [[London Borough of Lewisham]], the [[London Borough of Bexley]], the [[Royal Borough of Greenwich]] and the [[London Borough of Croydon]]. Most of BR8 and a small part of BR6 cover the northwestern part of the [[Sevenoaks District]] of Kent, while BR8 also covers the hamlet of Clement Street in the [[borough of Dartford]].<br />
<br />
Mail for the area was sorted in Bromley until 1988 when the site was converted to a delivery office only.<br />
