Summary

Code-Point® with polygons shows the notional shape of every postcode unit in Great Britain, and includes major buildings with multiple postcodes. For compelling visuals, Code-Point with polygons lets you apply shading to individual postcodes on a map. This means you can analyse location data at the most granular level and bring your results vividly to life. We give you every single postcode in Great Britain and Northern Ireland – including those for different floors of high-rise buildings. For accuracy, we give every postcode a positional quality rating and map out the boundaries of only the postcodes we can locate most precisely. Code-Point® with polygons contains postcode boundaries for Great Britain. These show the extent of each postcode unit, enabling you to analyse information by postcode. Ideal for activities such as sales targeting or market profiling, as well as any statistical work. Includes notional polygons; vertical streets data; postcode units; eastings and northings; NHS® health authority codes; administrative codes; PO box indicator; and types of delivery points.
