My pleasure. I went down the directory route first and struck a blank but then came up with the Google wheeze.

Thank you Brian in Essex - you got me a better result than I expected! When I looked on Google one of the numbers that were shown was the very number I was interested in, giving the company name and address. Thanks a bunch. Nobby

It's Newham, east London. Go to Google and search on 020 8557.

Thanks Bob and Caroline, I had gone the same route as you. Not much help at BT are they. I think Amanda might be right - Essex side. I had hoped there might be someone with a phone number starting with those numbers who might confirm it. Many thanks to you all, Nobby

If you go to bt(.)com directory enquiries you can type area codes in and it displays a map. Don't know if thats what Caroline used but it still only shows outer London. Bob

Sorry, can't help. All BT came up with was "Outer London" ..... doh!! as if we didn't know that already. Maybe someone else has an idea?
