Plate code XM — London (codes before 2001)
Code XM used to mean: London (codes before 2001). Code of the 1903–2001 system: it stood for a county or borough council, and from 1974 for a local DVLA office. The name gives the last office; the code's full history is in the local name. It is no longer issued with this meaning.
