AL1 5SL is a postal code used within the United Kingdom for delivering mail.
Postcodes are made up of two parts. The part before the space (AL1) is called the outward code. The part after the space (5SL) is called the inward code. The letters C, I, K, M, O and V are not allowed in the inward code. In addition to the inward and outward code, the postcode can be broken up into four parts:
- Postal Area. In our case AL which means St Albans.
- Postal District. In our case AL1.

- Postcode Unit. The last two letters. In our case SL.
The regional mail center for the post area AL is the Princess Royal Distribution Centre, which is located at Blackmore Drive, North Circular, LONDON , NW10 7RH.
