POSTLocator™ for MapInfo, ESRI or CSV

Updated to Q2 2025 Edition

POSTLocator™ contains British National Grid locations for all geographic postcodes, such that the co-ordinates are within the boundary of an address near the centre of those covered by the postcode. The file also contains the Local Authority details such as the county, district or unitary council, Health Authority details and the Council Electoral Ward. We have also provided the locations in Latitude / Longitude decimal degrees (WGS84). The current release is from Quarter 2 2025.

Recent English changes include the replacement of Craven, Hambleton, Harrogate, Richmondshire, Ryedale and Scarborough and Selby by the Unitary Council of North Yorkshire, the replacement of Barrow-in-Furness, Eden and South Lakeland by the Unitary Council of Westmoreland & Furness, the replacement of Allerdale, Carlisle and Copeland by the Unitary Council of Cumberland, and the replacement of Mendip, Sedgemoor, South Somerset and Somerset West & Taunton with the Unitary Council of Somerset.

The table includes the Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) details for England. These comprise the ONS Code and the Name in separate columns.

You can download as many formats as you wish, but if you just want the information in text format, e.g. to load into a database, then select the CSV format. The MapInfo TAB version is ready to use within the MapInfo GIS system, so each postcode already has a map point. The ESRI Shape version is ready to use in ArcGIS, so each postcode already has a map point.
