The KT8 postcode area is located within two local authority areas: Elmbridge and Richmond upon Thames.
Understanding the KT8 Postcode Area
The KT8 postcode district covers areas such as East Molesey and West Molesey. While these areas are geographically contiguous, they fall under the administration of different local councils, meaning residents in KT8 might be part of either the Elmbridge Borough Council or the Richmond upon Thames London Borough Council depending on their specific location.
This dual-borough coverage is not uncommon for postcode districts, especially those that straddle administrative boundaries. The table below provides a clear breakdown of the KT postcode districts and their corresponding local authority areas.
