Download UK Postcodes with Latitude and Longitude

Download a list of UK out code postcodes with their latitude and longitude coordinates.

Introduction

The UK postal system uses postcodes to help with automating the sorting and delivery of mail. This is made up of a 2-part code, an out code and an in code. As the out code is the most significant part of the system, it can be used to obtain a rough area level break up of the UK. There are approximately 2971 out codes and approximately 1762460 full postcodes (out code + in code). These downloads are made possible by our cheap dedicated server that provides a list of most of the out codes with their associated latitude and longitude.

Purpose

The uses of these out codes and lat/long values include mapping applications such as:

Rough distance calculation
Plot the rough location of a postcode on a map
Simple postcode validation for input forms

We are buying a new build how do we find it's post code
By Wendy Evans on 14/05/2012

I've been searching high & low for an (approximate) lookup of London neighbourhood from postcode, and still no luck. Do you know if any such exists? e.g. "SW1V" should return "Pimlico".
By Alex on 03/05/2012

Very useful, thanks very much. But I think IM2 might be slightly out - I guess the longitude (-4.85417) should be -4.485417. Might it also be worth including the overseas postcodes? F1QQ - Falkland Islands GX11 - Gibraltar etc...
By Malcolm on 06/03/2012

i need to show the boundaries of a post code i.e. b74 can this be done
By peter on 05/03/2012

Is it possible to extend this list to include all long lats for postal sectors ie. AB10 1, AB10 2 etc
By eddie on 02/12/2011

The public code point data contains eastings and northings not latitude and logitude but there is a php library phpcoord-2.3.php that will provide the necessary conversions. The current data does not include all the recent post code changes so is not up to date.
