Well i'd guess that Londonders would have to add the 8 or 7 to their number when calling within the 020 area code. The situation is just the same as Coventry (and others), it is just that, hereit replaced just the one area code, and so all numbers were prefixed with 76. this has to be used when calling within.

In 2000 (or thereabouts) these prefixes were replaced by 0208 and 0207 respectively. If you consider
the London STD code to be just "020" (which IMO looks stupid) then Londoners have to add 8 or 7 to
their local phone numbers, depending on the part of London they're in
Meanwhile, wouldn't this subject be better discussed at Metropol 24/7, rather than TV Forum . . . ?
