We've never had 0207 numbers in London - they were in the
Consett/Stanley area in the North East. Try dialling 222 1234 locally
and see what happens.

Yours must be an 0208 number?

London has two codes 0207 and 0208

Just one example of a London 0207 number being St Thomas's
hospital on South side of Westminster bridge opposite House of
Parliament:

You would think that someone calling himself "Exchange" would be more
knowledgeable about such things. ALL numbers in London have an area
code of 020 followed by a 4-digit exchange code (which currently begins
with 3, 7 or 8) followed by a 4-digit number. I'm amazed that this
still needs to be explained to people 9 years after the 020 code was
introduced.

There's no such dialling code.

I have a London number. It starts 020. As do ALL London numbers.

Clue - try dialling 222 1234

Indeed. Ignorance has gone to seed.

Some people seem to think that my number starts '00' the international
access code. In point of fact it starts 9200 and is in the STD code
023 but said folks insist that the dialling code is 02392!

London has two codes 0207 and 0208

NO! From the OFCOM site's FAQ:

"Q: Since when has the London Code been 020? Aren’t there two London
codes – 0207 and 0208?

A: There has only been one area code for London (020) since April 2000.
In 1997, following public consultation, Oftel announced that 020 would
become the code for Greater London with effect from April 2000,
following 2 years of parallel running with 0171 and 0181 (ie, between
1998 and 2000).

With the adoption of 020, Greater London moved from having 7-digit local
numbers to having 8-digit local numbers. ‘8’ or ‘7’ became the first
digit of the local number, depending on whether the number had
previously been Inner (0171) or Outer (0181) London."

Just one example of a London 0207 number being St Thomas's
hospital on South side of Westminster bridge opposite House of
Parliament:

"Tel: 020 7188 7188"

Yes, they're ignorant too.
