-Liz Greenberg, Head of Numbering at Ofcom
0204 is just an extension of London’s 020 area code. So, 0204 is simply a standard landline number for London. They will be charged at standard landline rates which differ per provider; however, most contracts have an amount of landline minutes included at no extra charge.
Over the years London’s area code has changed several times. The first area code, 01, was allocated in 1958 and it remained that way until 1990. It was then replaced with two codes – 071 for inner London and 081 for outer London numbers It wasn’t until 5 years later that all area codes in the UK gained a ‘1’ after the ‘0’ in an effort to make it clearer that the number was a landline number. So, London’s area code became 0171 and 0181… are you still with me? Then came the ‘Big Number Change’ in 2000. A single area code was allocated to London, 020, and the inner and outer area code system was abolished. 020 has remained the city’s area code ever since, with 020(4) being the latest 10 million numbers added batch.
