Who we are

Postcode Area helps people from all areas of the UK to locate and find postcode data/information in all cities and regions, including England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales postcodes.

Our goal is to bring together data about all postcode areas in the UK, from geographical data through to local businesses, events, weather reports, local hotels, road traffic information and much more as we continue to grow.

We hope that our free service allows you to find out more about your local area, research postcode information and make decisions based on our data.
