Some very large organisations have also their own postcode.

For example, if you want to write to HMRC about your self-assessment the address is: BX9 1AS, and that's it.

Edit: moreover, BX is the non-geographic code, whereas 'normal' postcode start with a geographic code, which is usually an abbreviation of the town.

There are a couple of buildings in the US with their own zip code. The White House is one, as is the Empire State building.

The Pentagon manages to have at least 6 zip codes assigned to it (each branch has its own zip code).

It’s mildly annoying that there are 6 branches in The Pentagon

In the UK, with its more granular postcodes, office buildings can have one or more postcodes per floor.
