can anyone suggest me from where i can get postcode list for UK. thanks

I know this is old but for anyone else who is viewing this topic for information.

You can get UK postcode information from the Royal Mail although it does cost some money.

You can also get postcodes from various sources, such as http://www.easypeasy.com/guides/article.php?article=64

As for implementing it, i am currently implementing a search for venues by postcode with a given distance.

I'll let you know once i'm done and how i went about it, thats if i get it done.

I'll create another topic on this forum if i can't called search by postcode and distance.
