No I'm not!
When it was 01 703 4461 if you were in London you could just dial the last 7 digits.
When it became 071 703 4461 if you were in the 071 area you could dial the last 7 if you were in 081 you had to dial everything.
0171 was exactly the same but with the extra 1.
Now that it is 020 7703 4461 regardless of where in London you are you have to dial the initial 7 (or 8 or 3), were you correct about it being 0207 I should be able to dial 703 4461 and get through however I can't, ergo the initial 7,8 or 3 is part of the subscriber number and not the area code.
