Using the United Kingdom postcode map
How do I find a town by postcode?
Enter at least two characters in the search field and choose a result. The map will highlight the zone and show the approximate position. Search also accepts local place names and available Ukrainian or English translations.
Is a two-digit zone a complete postcode?
Usually not. This directory contains postal prefixes. A zone groups nearby postal records; use the full postcode and exact loading address in transport documents.
Can I search for freight in the selected zone?
The links open a search for the selected town when it is matched to the REISNO location directory; otherwise they search the whole country. Exact postcode-zone filtering is not yet available.
