No.  What is the correct format?

Londoners have a 3-digit STD (area) code (020) and 8-digit ‘local’ numbers = an 11-digit number.

Those in our larger cities have 4-digit STD (area) codes (e.g. 0121) and 7-digit ‘local’ numbers = an 11-digit number!

And the rest of us have 5-digit STD (area) codes (e.g. 01703) and 6-digit ‘local’ numbers = (no surprises here) an 11-digit number.

(Although some still have 5-digit STD [area] codes [e.g. 01524] and 6-digit ‘local’ numbers = a 10-digit number!)

So much for the standardisation we were promised at the time of ‘the Big Number’ change!

0fcom is addressing this, particularly with the 020 3xxx xxxx numbers out next year.

Really?  That merely perpetuates the 'London anomaly' of a 3-digit area code and 8-digit 'local' number and goes nowhere towards achieving standardisation.

Perhaps they should take into account that the USA, a country 4 times more populous than the UK, has standard 3-digit area codes and standard 7-digit (xxx XXXX) 'local' numbers.

I have to agree with Owain on this one.

What's the point in listing them incorrectly? It makes them more difficult to read.
