London gets 10m more landline phone numbers to meet demand (30 August 2019)
"London is set for an extra 10 million landline phone numbers to accommodate growing demand by new homes and offices.
Telecoms regulator Ofcom announced it is introducing a new 0204 number range to help Londoners "stay connected".
While there are 30 million numbers using (020)3, (020)7 and (020)8, fewer than 500,000 remain to be handed out.
Ofcom said these will be used up within a year as it distributes 30,000 London numbers each week."
