About UK Map and Postcode Tools

The United Kingdom is one of the most frequently searched regions for postcode and mapping data. The UK is made up of England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, and the Channel Islands, each of which uses the UK postcode system for addressing, navigation, and location-based services.

The UK-related tools listed on this page are designed to help users work with British geographic data in a simple and practical way. This includes tools for UK postcodes, distance calculations, coordinate lookups, and general mapping tasks. UK postcodes are alphanumeric and structured in multiple levels, making them widely used in logistics, planning, research, and software development.

Many people use UK map tools for everyday purposes such as checking distances between towns and cities, converting latitude and longitude values, or validating postcode locations. Others rely on these tools for more technical tasks, including data analysis, application development, transport planning, and geographic research.

UK postcode tools are particularly valuable because postcode areas often do not follow county or local authority boundaries. Having access to accurate postcode data helps users better understand location coverage, delivery areas, and regional relationships across the UK.

Free Map Tools also provides downloadable UK datasets and offline tools for users who need local access to postcode and mapping data. These tools are useful when working without an internet connection or when processing large volumes of UK location data on a local computer.

All tools on this page are web-based, easy to use, and require no specialist GIS software. They are suitable for casual users, developers, businesses, researchers, and anyone who needs quick access to reliable UK geographic information.

This page acts as a central index of UK-related mapping tools available on Free Map Tools. By grouping UK map utilities, downloads, and offline tools together, users can quickly find the resources they need without searching across multiple pages. New tools and updates are added over time in response to user demand.

Hi Tim. Sorry this is not possible.

By Free Map Tools on 15th June 2019

Hi, can the map show areas of specific heights above sea level? Say, all areas above five meters.

By Tim on 15th June 2019

Hi Ken, we don't/can't show the area of an individual postcode unit unfortunately.

First time I've been here and it's looking impressive .. thanks. Much more potential than I'm going to use but several things I like to come back to juggle with. How ever I've not been able to make it do what I came for. Can't imagine it wont but after several attempt to poke it .. I've failed :( Please feel free to make me kick myself by pointing out the obvious I've missed: I can't make it show me the areas encompassed by a complete UK post code.Selling sites must access this information as when you enter a complete post code they frequently ask you to pick which of a handful of addresses you wish to choose but so far I've failed to effect that as an area on the map.

Sal Quao, every couple of months

By Free Map Tools on 1st September 2018

Hi, Can you please let me know how often these postcodes refreshed to ensure we have the latest information. Thanks Sal

By Sal Quao on 31st August 2018

Hi Ben, If you can give some example browsers where it doesn't work, we can look in to this.

By Free Map Tools on 12th December 2017

The map doesn't always load, depending on where I'm opening your website and which browser I'm using. I can see Google Maps on all these PCs.

By Ben on 7th December 2017

Hi Paul, Convert NGR to Postcode has been added.

By Free Map Tools on 30th October 2017

Looking at UK related. Okay you can "Convert Postcode to National Grid Reference" but why can't you go the other way ie "Convert National Grid Reference to Postcode"? Can't be that much more work to offer this can it!?

By Paul on 28th July 2017

Excellent and so quick.
