The RG postcode area, also known as the Reading postcode area^[2], is a group of postal districts centered on Reading and Basingstoke in Southern England. As well as Reading and Basingstoke, it covers West Berkshire, including Newbury, Thatcham and Hungerford, Wokingham, Bracknell, much of North Hampshire, including Bramley, Hook and Tadley, a part of southern Oxfordshire, including Henley on Thames, and even a small portion of Buckinghamshire.

As you can see RG3 is not displayed because what is now RG30 and RG31 used to be RG3 but had to be changed because of the rise in population in West Reading.
