Area code history

Orpington's original area code was 0072. This lasted until 1968 when the code was changed to 0689, as part of a nationwide plan to free up numbers starting 00 for other purposes.

The 0689 code eventually became 01689, following a renumbering programme that took place across the UK during April 1995.
