@tanguatlay,

I wouldn't. It used to be common to put a comma after each line of an address except the last line.

I would go with that, so no comma.

However, this is very minor, more a question of style and not really worth bothering with.

@tanguatlay,

No comma is needed there.

I would have answered "no" – but I did a search:

Quote:

In geographical names with two or more elements, you should use a comma after each different element. This helps the reader to see the different component parts of the address. You should also use a comma after the last item in the name unless it comes at the end of the sentence in which case you should use a period (or question mark if it is a question). e.g. Is Oxford, England, full of clever people?
