I would like the correct code for Stony Stratford in or near Milton Keynes, Bucks, I have it as MK 11 1AQ, but have a feeling it is MK 11 1AH, have seen several different codes, am confused

MK11 is the code for Milton Keynes.  The last letters relate to individual roads, so both would be in the same town.

Thanks to all who replied - it is quite different in New Zealand, just a street number and city does it although they are now bringing in post codes - mind you we have a population of only 4 million, we probably have more sheep than people, no post codes for sheep (yet!)
