You can put just ‘HMRC’ (UK tax department) on a letter (with paid postage) and it will get to them.

...and, if you write to a member of parliament at the Houses of Parliament, you don't have to use a stamp.

So presumably...

<MP name>

HP

...with no stamp on the envelope could theoretically work.

Now, which MP has the shortest name?

Can we go shorter? The Director General of MI6 traditionally has the designator 'C'. This probably wouldn't work anywhere in the UK, but if you dropped it off at a Post Office near Vauxhall Cross, they'd probably figure out what you meant.

Ed Davey, Tom Hunt, Rupa Huq, Ben Lake, Ian Levy, Alan Mak, Lia Nici, Naz Shah.

I daresay "A Mak" or "R Huq" would work too.

No stamp required is due to “Franking privileges”. Same as in Canada.

There are also freepost addresses, where you can write "Freepost CompanyName" with no postage. I've found one on google which is just "Freepost OAL".

I believe DVLC would work too (now DVLA, iirc).

"Now" was 33 years ago!
