How It Works
This service is very easy to use. On the top (right side), there is a search tool. This search tool offers three operation modes
- You can type in an address in the United Kingdom. This action will display a map pointing the address and showing the neighborhood;
- You can type in this information in the United Kingdom. After doing this, a map of the corresponding area will be displayed;
- You can type in the name of a city in the United Kingdom. This action will display a map of the city showing the different codes in it and their delimited area.
In all these cases, the search is fast and very accurate. It is worthwhile noting that the database of this tool is constantly updated.
You Can Look for a City in a List
This website also offers the possibility to search a list for a specific city. There are five tabs available, labeled UK, England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. When you click on the first tab (UK), a map of the entire United Kingdom is displayed. If you click in any of the other tabs, a list of the cities in the constituent country appears.
For instance, if you click on England, a list of the cities within England (in order of importance) is displayed. Moreover, the interactive map will display only this country instead of all the United Kingdom. The list starts with London, Birmingham, Liverpool, and so on. If you do not find the city you are looking for, then you can click the last option of the list.
This option is “All cities.” By clicking on it you are taken to a search tool in which you can find the cities alphabetically. If you know the geographic location of the city you look for, you can find it on the interactive map. Overall, these different options are very intuitive and help you find the data you need very easily. Whatever data you have, you will be able to find any postcode.
