How do I give my address and postcode clearly?

Nov 5, 2026
Short answer

Say the smallest unit first, then the number, street and town, and group the postcode into two halves, using letter names for the letters. Flat 3, 24 Bridge Street, Bromley, BR5 2QT is easier to write down than a full sentence, and spelling the street name prevents most repeats.
