Don't have an office in London? You can still get a 020 number.

No hardware, no engineer visit, no need to relocate.

Who it's for

Why Businesses Buy a Local 020 Phone Number

A local telephone number is one of the simplest ways to appear established across London — and one of the most common reasons businesses come to us for a London number specifically.

A local 020 number gives customers a familiar London number to call, even if your team works from a different city entirely. Greater London is home to more than 8 million people — a local prefix can help customers recognise your business as serving the London market.

Whether you need a single new telephone number to test the London market, or want to bulk buy a batch of local 020 phone numbers for a distributed sales team, T2K provisions numbers with routing live within 24 hours of ordering.

Coverage area

Which Areas Does 020 Cover?

A 020 telephone number is available for use anywhere, but is traditionally associated with Greater London. Central London postcodes (EC, WC, W1) and the wider London postcode area (E, N, NW, SE, SW) are the most common, but many outer London boroughs — Croydon, Harrow, Bromley and others — also commonly dial on 020 despite using non-"London" postcodes. Areas below are indicative rather than an exhaustive list — get in touch if you'd like us to confirm coverage for a specific postcode.

FAQ

020 Telephone Numbers — Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get a 020 number if my business isn't based in London?
Yes. Your virtual 020 number isn't tied to a particular desk or phone — calls are routed to your mobile, landline or VoIP system wherever you're based, anywhere in the UK.
Why do some London numbers start 020 7, 020 8 or 020 3?
All three are part of the same 020 area code. 020 7 numbers are traditionally associated with inner London and 020 8 with outer London, while 020 3 is a newer overlay code introduced as demand for London numbers grew. All dial and receive calls in exactly the same way.
How quickly can I get a new local number?
Most single 020 numbers are live and routing calls within 24 hours of ordering. Bulk orders typically take slightly longer depending on volume and routing requirements.
What does it cost to call a 020 number?
020 is a UK geographic number. Calls are normally charged at the caller's standard rate for geographic numbers, and are often included within UK inclusive minutes, depending on their phone package.
Can I bulk buy multiple 020 telephone numbers?
Yes. We regularly supply bulk local number orders to agencies, call centres, and multi-brand or multi-site businesses, managed centrally through one account with volume-based pricing.
Do I need new hardware to use a new 020 number?
No. Your number forwards to whatever you already use — mobile, existing landline, or a VoIP system — with no engineer visit or new equipment required.
Can I keep the number if I later move to a full VoIP phone system?
Yes. Any local number you purchase can be ported across to a full hosted phone system such as Gamma Horizon or 3CX later on with zero gap in service. If you're still on a traditional landline, check our PSTN switch-off checker → to see your migration deadline.
