This is the ONS Postcode Directory (ONSPD) for the United Kingdom as at May 2023 in Comma Separated Variable (CSV) and ASCII text (TXT) formats. This file contains the multi CSVs so that postcode areas can be opened in MS Excel. To download the zip file click the Download button. The ONSPD relates both current and terminated postcodes in the United Kingdom to a range of current statutory administrative, electoral, health and other area geographies. It also links postcodes to pre-2002 health areas, 1991 Census enumeration districts for England and Wales, 2001 Census Output Areas (OA) and Super Output Areas (SOA) for England and Wales, 2001 Census OAs and SOAs for Northern Ireland and 2001 Census OAs and Data Zones (DZ) for Scotland. It now contains 2021 Census OAs and SOAs for England, Wales and Northern Ireland. It helps support the production of area based statistics from postcoded data. The ONSPD is produced by ONS Geography, who provide geographic support to the Office for National Statistics (ONS) and geographic services used by other organisations. The ONSPD is issued quarterly.

You might also find reference data on area cost uplifts and disadvantage uplift factors to use with funding calculations useful.
We use this data in the funding system to support publicly funded education and skills in England; covering the adult skills fund, both in devolved and non-devolved areas.
The guidance document accompanying the data file explains how we use this data and what you can do with it to aid your enrolment of learners, and creation of individualised learner record data.
The complete ASF postcode dataset is too large for you to open conventionally in spreadsheet software. You can load this file into a database or BI software to query the whole dataset.
To allow you to view the data in a spreadsheet, we have split the complete ASF postcode dataset into several spreadsheet readable csv files.
This file contains just the postcodes from the complete ASF postcode file that fall within devolved authority areas.
This file contains all postcodes from the complete ASF postcode file that begin with the letters A to K, including all Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) funded, devolved authority funded and non-funded British (Welsh and Scottish) postcodes.
This file contains all postcodes from the complete ASF postcode file that begin with the letters L to R, including all ESFA funded, devolved authority funded and non-funded British (Welsh and Scottish) postcodes.
This file contains all postcodes from the complete ASF postcode file that begin with the letters S to Z, including all ESFA funded, devolved authority funded and non-funded British (Welsh and Scottish) postcodes.
A list of businesses located in London showing a range of information including company name, address, postcode, local authority, and SIC code (industry).
The Free Company Data Product is a downloadable data snapshot containing basic company data of live companies on the register. The version available from Companies House has all UK business and is available to download in a series of Zip folders.
The London cut available to download here, was created using a postcode list. Therefore, if there is an error in the postcode, or some other problem caused the postcode listed not to match a London postcode, those business will not be included in the file. Furthermore, inaccuracies in postcodes may mean that no local authority is listed for a company.
Each entry represents a financial accounts submission of either a whole company or part of one. Some businesses have more than one entry in the directory because they need to submit more than one set of accounts for different parts of their business. Therefore, the number of entries in the directory will be greater than the number of businesses.
Note, Large file size - the Excel file is around 1 million rows. It loads in Excel 2010.
Companies House update the latest snapshot within 5 working days of the previous month end. The London file available here was published on 1 January 2015.

A lookup between postcodes and postcode sectors, postcode districts and postcode areas as at March 2021 in England and Wales (File size 5MB).
You might find these adult skills fund (ASF) data files showing the funding bodies that are responsible for funding each postcode in England useful.
We use this data in funding calculations to support publicly funded education and skills in England; covering 16 to 19 study programmes, adult education budget (AEB), level 3 free courses for jobs (FCFJ), apprenticeships, the European Social Fund and advanced learner loans bursary. This includes devolved AEB and level 3 FCFJ qualifications funded by mayoral combined authorities or the Greater London Authority.
To support the devolution of AEB, we have produced postcode files to show which postcodes are within the devolved areas, and consequently which body is responsible for AEB learners resident in a given postcode.
For funded learners aged 16 to 19, we apply the most recent single funding year’s factors to all learners in that funding year, regardless of their start date.
For adult-funded aims and apprenticeship frameworks, we changed our calculations in the 2016 to 2017 year to apply the factor or cash value in our calculations based on the date when the learner started the aim or programme. For example, for learners who started adult-funded aims or apprenticeship frameworks from 1 August 2017 to 31 July 2018, we used the values from the 2017 to 2018 tables in the funding calculations for 2018 to 2019 and then in subsequent years.
The area cost uplift reflects the higher cost of delivering provision in some parts of the country, such as London and the south east.
These are uplifts or amounts for learners living in the most disadvantaged areas of the country.
Historically we have used various versions of the Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) to determine disadvantage factors and uplifts.
The IMD is assigned based on lower layer super output areas (LSOAs). LSOAs are a set of geographical areas developed, following the 2001 census, with the aim of defining areas of consistent size whose boundaries would not change between censuses.
Therefore, we initially set disadvantage factors at LSOA level, and then apply the factors to postcodes within each LSOA. We publish disadvantage information on this page at LSOA level and also at postcode level.
For the year 2021 to 2022 onwards, we use the 2019 IMD for provision funded by Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA). This used the LSOA mapping from the 2011 census.
For the year 2016 to 2017 up to and including the year 2020 to 2021, we used the 2015 IMD. This used the LSOA mapping from the 2011 census.
Up to the funding year 2015 to 2016, we used the 2010 IMD which used the LSOAs from the 2001 census as its underlying mapping.
Mayoral combined authorities and the Greater London Authority may wish to set different disadvantage factors to ESFA for AEB provision they fund, and the data for the 2021 to 2022 year includes disadvantage factors where they vary from <abbr title="E
