The E6 postcode area is located in the London postcode town region, within the county of Greater London, and contains a total of 1883 individual postcodes.

There are 7 electoral wards in the E6 postcode area, including London which come under the local authority of the Newham Council.

Combining the whole postcode region, 14% of people in E6 are classed as having an AB social grade, (i.e. 'white-collar' middle-upper class), compared to 27% across the UK.

This does not mean that the people of E6 are poorer than other areas, but it may give an indication that there are areas of deprivation.


The E6 postcode in the London district is in the London Borough of Newham, East London. It covers the areas of East Ham, Beckton, and Royal Docks.

East Ham is an area that is host to a number of different cultures. It is a diverse town with an eclectic cafe and restaurant scene that showcases the various cuisines available, including Bangladeshi, Turkish, and Caribbean. It also has markets, parks, and plenty of shops.

Beckton is located opposite Newham City on the banks of the Thames. It is home to Beckton Retail Park and is an important transport hub, with the DLR running nearby. In the area, there are many green spaces such as Beckton District Park, as well as Beckton Lake, Beckton Sewage Works, Royal Docks, and Beckton Riverside Park. It also features the ExCeL Centre for events such as the annual London Marathon.

The Royal Docks is a coastal area between Canning Town and London City Airport. It was formerly an important port and is now the focus of regeneration, with many new residential developments and landscaped public spaces. There are also a number of lakes and erstwhile fisherman's cabins dotted around the area, with the closest lake being East India Dock.

The E6 postcode also encompasses the locales of Star Lane, Plaistow, Wallend, and Custom House. Star Lane is a residential hub and its shops champion East Asian culture, such as Chinese and South Asian. Plaistow is centred around Plaistow Park and features a vibrant shopping area with large department stores and independent outlets selling diverse cultures. Wallend is a historic area of industrial buildings, many of which are now being converted into residential apartments. Custom House is a relatively new business area of the district, with its name originating from the historic East India Custom House tariff station.
