Why Buy a 020 London Number?

The business advantages of a local geographic number

Affordable for Your Customers

Calls to 020 numbers cost the same as calling any other 01 or 02 number, and may be free within the caller's call package. No premium surcharges, no surprises.

Professional, Trusted Local Image

A 020 number signals an established business with a genuine London presence. Local customers are far more likely to call and trust a recognisable London area code than an unfamiliar or out-of-area number.

Local London Presence, Calls Anywhere

A 020 number gives your business a recognisable London point of contact while you answer calls from anywhere. Route incoming calls to different locations based on time of day or team availability.

Take Your London Number Anywhere

Unlike a traditional landline tied to a single exchange line, your virtual 020 number travels with your business. Move offices, change providers, or expand beyond London without ever losing your number.

Ofcom-Regulated and Fully Portable

All UK 020 geographic numbers are regulated by Ofcom. You have the legal right to port your 020 number to any provider at any time.

020 numbers cost the same as calling any other 01 or 02 number: up to 16p a minute from landlines and 3p to 65p from mobiles, and may be free within the caller's call package (GOV.UK). Unlike 084/087 numbers, there is no service charge.

Where is the 020 area code?

020 is the UK geographic area code for London in Greater London. It is a genuine local dialling code, so a 020 number gives your business an authentic London presence. Calls are charged at standard UK geographic rates and are included in most callers' inclusive minutes, the same as any other landline.

Can I divert my 020 number to a mobile?

Yes. When you buy a 020 number from Number Supermarket, you can forward calls to any UK landline or mobile number. You can change your divert destination at any time through our online portal or smartphone app — useful for after-hours redirection, holiday cover, or routing different services to different teams.

How quickly can I get a 020 number?

Usually the same day. 020 numbers are sourced to order: we don't keep a stock of unused local numbers, so when you order we request one in your chosen area code from our UK network partners. Want a particular number? We can request it, as long as it isn't already in use by another business. No engineers, no installations.

What features are included with a 020 number?

Solo includes call forwarding. The Works includes 4 call features of your choice from 20+. Extra features on The Works are £9.99 a month + VAT each. With The Works, the options for your 020 number include voicemail to email, call recording, call whisper, time-of-day routing, hunt groups and IVR auto-attendant.

Do I need special equipment for a 020 number?

No. A 020 number works with your existing phone setup. Calls are forwarded to whatever number you choose — office landline, mobile, or home phone. There is no hardware to install and no software required.

Can I keep my 020 number if I switch provider?

Yes. Under Ofcom regulations, you have the right to port your 020 number to any other provider. Porting usually takes 1–2 weeks, depending on the network. If you bought your 020 number outright, it is yours.

Who uses 020 London numbers?

020 numbers are used by businesses of all sizes that want a recognisable London presence at standard geographic call rates. They're especially popular with local trades, customer service teams, property managers, professional services and any business that wants to look established in London — whether they're based in the city or serving it remotely.

Can I get a London 020 number if my business isn't based there?

Yes. Calls to your 020 number divert to any phone, anywhere — your office, your mobile or your team across the country. The number still gives your business a recognised local London presence regardless of where you physically operate, so you can win local London customers without a physical office in the area.

What & where is the 020 area code?

The 020 dialling code is the geographic area code for London in Greater London, also covering Greater London. Calls to 020 numbers are charged at standard UK geographic rates and are included in most callers' inclusive minutes — the same as any landline, unlike 084/087 numbers.

Businesses across City, West End, Shoreditch, Canary Wharf and the wider London area use a 020 number to signal they're local and established.

Who uses a 020 number?

A 020 number gives any business a credible London presence — whether you're based in the city or serving it remotely. Typical London businesses that benefit include:

  • A London finance business giving customers one memorable 020 number to call
  • A tech firm projecting an established London presence, wherever the team actually works
  • A London media company keeping every enquiry local on a recognisable 020 line
  • A growing professional services business that wants a credible London identity without a city-centre office

Examples are illustrative of local sectors in London.
