0207 numbers: part of London's 020 code
0207 numbers belong to London's 020 code and are written 020 7xxx xxxx. From outside the UK: +44 20 7xxx xxxx.
Why 0207 isn't an area code
There is no 0207 area code. These are London 020 numbers whose local part happens to start with 7, so they should be written 020 7xxx xxxx.
In the 1990s London was split in two: 0171 for the centre and 0181 for the outer boroughs, which later became 020 7 and 020 8. That distinction has faded, and today a 020 7 number can belong to a company run from anywhere.
All of London's blocks are listed on the 020 area code page.
