International Codes List
Redundant 00xx Codes List
All current telephone area codes (July 2005) prefixed 01xxx were formerly prefixed 0xxx.

London
01 was the area code for London.
The code was split into inner London 071 and outer London 081.
These codes were changed to 0171 and 0181. Both codes were consolidated into 020.
An 01-xxx xxxx number became either an 071-xxx xxxx or 081-xxx xxxx number (ditto 0171- and 0181) and today the original 01-xxx xxxx (if unchanged) will be either 020-7xxx xxxx or 020-8xxx xxxx.

The UK is divided into more than 650 telephone code areas. Telephone code areas are dialled using a 0 code before the area code. Local numbers can be dialled either with or without the combined trunk code and area code. Area codes can have between two and five digits after the 0 trunk code, and the local number part can have between four and eight digits. Most numbers have exactly ten digits after the initial 0 trunk code, but some areas have only nine digits. Longer local numbers have shorter area codes. The 0 trunk code is omitted when dialling the UK from abroad.

For printing lists of telephone numbers onto labels we recommend the range of address labels from Cloud Labels. They also supply templates that you can download in Word and PDF formats to help position the text.
