    London Borough Postcodes

    Due to popular demand, we have created a series of spreadsheets and files for all 33 London Boroughs which provide a list of every Postcode each Borough contains.

    The data is supplied in a single text file containing all Postcodes and boroughs for the whole of london, As the total number of London Postcodes is over 183,000 which is too large for some spreadsheet packages, we also provide the data in 33 separate files - one for each borough.

    The London Postcode to Borough data allows you to quickly search for any London Postcode using a text editor, spreadsheet or database and find the London Ward, District/ Borough that the Postcode belongs to. For example:

    NW10 7BL falls within the Ward of East Acton and the London Borough of Ealing.

    Alternatively, open any one of the 33 borough files (eg Barnet.csv) and see a list of all Postcodes that fall within that London Borough.

    The following fields of information are included in this data product:

    POSTCODE, POSTCODE_SECTOR, POSTCODE_DISTRICT, POSTCODE_AREA, COUNTRY, REGION_CODE, REGION, COUNTY_CODE, COUNTY, DISTRICT_CODE, DISTRICT, WARD_CODE, WARD

    For only £25 for the whole of London, this data is perfect for local administration tasks, address analysis and local authority planning. Use within database applications to tag Postcodes with local authority information.

    The data is sourced from the latest Ordnance Survey Code-Point© Open data and Royal Mail Postzon data and processed to create a single database structure containing a total of 13 data fields for ease of use.

    Postcode Boundary Data


    Following the release of several geographic databases (royalty free) by Ordnance Survey on the 1st April 2010, we have been reviewing the information to determine whether we can help turn this raw data into useful information for customers to use in GIS and mapping software.

    In addition to improving the grid references (and lowering the price!) of our Postcode grid reference file, we have also used the raw Code-Point grid reference data to build a set of Postcode polygons for Great Britain. These boundaries can be used in a variety of GIS and mapping software such as Mapinfo, Arcview, Maptitude and even Google Earth to view the extent of Postcode Sectors, Districts and Areas across the country.

    The polygons have been created using a variety of techniques based on Voronoi diagrams to create areas around every Postcode in the country which are then aggregated to created the boundaries for each level of Postcode geography. As we only use the Postcodes with the highest positional quality indicators from Ordnance Survey and also exclude PO Boxes, these boundaries are the most accurate boundaries that can be produced using this technique.

    At £300 for a single user and £600 for unlimited company use, we also believe these boundaries offer unbeatable value for money. You can download a specification and a sample of the boundaries directly from our website.

    If you download the sample to play with then we'd love to have your feedback...
