The postcode SE4 1LY is in the LSOA area called 'Lewisham 008D', in the Brockley ward.

The geographical demographic data for SE4 1LY has been extracted from the Office of National Statistics, responsible for the collection and publication of UK statistics relating to population, society and economy. (ONS)
