How to address an envelope l

The standard way to address an envelope in the UK is:

D

Mr I Mrs I Ms A Brown name of recipient
Lowis Engineering PLC name of recipient's company or organization
Lowis House name of building - where applicable
21 Wardour Street building number and street name
London city or town
W1 OTH postcode
United Kingdom country

The standard way to address an envelope in the US is:

D

Jonathan Brown name of recipient
Lowis Engineering name of recipient's company or organization
10 East 53rd Street building number and street name
New York NY 10022 city, state, zip code

But other countries do it differently. In Japan, for example, the name of the
recipient is put at the bottom of the address. In France, the whole address
should be in CAPITAL LETTERS, except the name of the recipient. Use the
Internet to check how to write different international addresses.
