Coverage and definitions

Coordinates come from OS Code-Point Open where available. Geography assignments come from the active ONS Postcode Directory publication. Names are shown only when the published reference data supports them.

A postcode identifies a postal delivery area, not a property boundary. Statistical geography codes can change between source releases.
