The L postcode area, also known as the Liverpool postcode area,[2] is a group of postcode districts in North West England. Together they cover central and southern Merseyside, southern West Lancashire, and a small part of north-west Cheshire. Its four post towns are Bootle, Liverpool, Ormskirk, and Prescot.

In 1999 the L postcodes on the Wirral Peninsula (L41 to L49 and L60 to L66) were transferred to the CH postcode area.[3]
