ISO 3166-2:GB

ISO 3166-2:GB is an ISO standard which defines geocodes: it is the subset of ISO 3166-2 which applies to the United Kingdom.

The codes correspond to the administrative divisions of the UK:
*England
** 34 counties
** 33 London Boroughs
** 36 metropolitan districts
** 46 unitary authorities including Isle of Wight
** 1 special area
*Northern Ireland
** 26 district council areas
*Scotland
** 32 council areas
*Wales
** 22 unitary authoritiesThe Channel Islands and the Isle of Man are not part of the UK, but ISO offers codes for them under "GB-".

The first part of each code is the ISO 3166-1 code GB for the United Kingdom, and the second part is a three-letter code, which is the same as in the British Standard BS 6879.
