EC1N is Hatton Garden and the streets around Leather Lane: narrow historic plots, jewellery workshops and showrooms at street level, and later commercial infill running down to the Camden/City of London boundary.

N1C is King's Cross Central — the old railway lands behind King's Cross and St Pancras, rebuilt as a masterplanned quarter of new apartment blocks, converted gasholders and repurposed goods buildings around Granary Square and the canal.

W1T is eastern Fitzrovia: Georgian terraces above shops around Charlotte Street and Goodge Street, later blocks of flats, and a thick layer of post-war and media-industry offices.

WC1V is largely commercial — the office frontages of High Holborn and the blocks around Procter Street, running down towards the City boundary — with a small residential population in flats above and behind the main street.

WC1X is the most residential slice of WC1 — Georgian terraces and squares off Gray's Inn Road, the Calthorpe and Lloyd Baker streets climbing towards Clerkenwell, mansion blocks, and Mount Pleasant on the eastern side.

WC2A is the legal quarter: Lincoln's Inn and Lincoln's Inn Fields, barristers' chambers, the Royal Courts of Justice, Chancery Lane and the LSE campus, with the district's edges reaching Westminster, Islington and the City.

WC2B is the Kingsway–Aldwych spine and the streets behind it — Drury Lane, Great Queen Street and Freemasons' Hall, on the northern fringe of Covent Garden.

WC2H runs from Seven Dials and Denmark Street across Cambridge Circus to Charing Cross Road and Leicester Square, with the Westminster boundary close by.
