The 7 and 8 aren't actually part of the dialling code
020 is now the dialling code for London, the 7 and 8 have been incorporated into the local numbers.

i wondered what the point in all that was
cardiff became 029, and all local numbers are now eight digits beginning 20******. why bother with the 20 bit then?
edit: ha! i'm not there anymore. but you can wank over SSG's instead.

Because
Cardiff had six digit numbers. Now that the code is 029, the numbers are longer.
At the moment, everything is 20xxxxxx, but as the 20xxxxxx numbers are depleted, other number ranges can be assigned, but keeping the same dialling code, for example 30xxxxxx or 21xxxxxx.

No.
But the old system only allowed for 1,000,000 numbers, when you take into account people getting second lines, numbers which are unusable because they already start with a prefix used for something else (999xxx, 100xxx 0xxxxx etc) and the fact that certain ranges are assigned to certain operators, you cut down on your choices rather dramatically. For instance, BT may run out of 20xxxxxx numbers but NTL will still have some left, because certain ranges belong entirely to NTL, some are entirely BT.
