The NW7 postcode district covers Mill Hill, Finchley Church End, Edgware, Edgwarebury, close to Hendon, Totteridge, Golders Green, and surrounding villages in parts of Greater London and Hertfordshire.

53 postcodes in the NW7 district appear in the Environment Agency's rivers-and-sea flood-risk dataset — worst bands: 29 high, 13 medium, 11 low. A postcode not listed here has no properties in any recorded risk band (which is good news, but never proof it cannot flood).
