    this is an example of a UK address:

    56 barcombe avenue --> house number and street name
    streatham common --> area
    london SW16 8YY --> city and postcode
    england --> country!

    Or if they live in a small town with no area division:

    28 Something Avenue (Road and house number)
    Castleford (Town or city)
    West Yorkshire (County)
    WF8 4WE (Postcode)
    England (Country)



    (Edited because I'm certain the postcode comes last :&)
    (Edited again after Domino's post :p)

    The postcode comes after county but before country.
