By putting the Postcode in we are supply OSM with the postcode to be
able to give that street a post code, same goes for streets.
Rather than having the postcode in a separate addr:postcode tag for each
building on the street, I would think it would be better to tag the street
to be precise, there are three levels in the postcode are hierarchy,
Area = SN
District = SN13
Postcode = SN13_2PQ

there are FOUR levels in the UK postcode area hierarchy,
Area = SN
District = SN13
Sector = SN13_2
Postcode = SN13_2PQ
Of course, any system should cope with international variations of
postcode format
I see what you are saying WM but until we get enough nodes with postcodes we
can not see the area covered by it.
If I was to record the postcode for each house in my village I would be able
to draw up a correct map but how to interpret this data is the hard bit
because for a gps device it would

A lowest level postcode (SN13_2PQ) is not unique for a node, as multiple
dwellings will have the same postcode, so this leads to having multiple

Folks,
Just looking at Tooting Bec Lido on the Map. I see that the site is
marked as a lesure area. I was wondering if it was also appropriate to
map the pool as it's outside and if so, how one would tag it?

Folks,
Does anyone know of any maps marking UK postal areas/districts? I seem

can't seem to find it.
Any ideas where I can see the postal boundies?

You're probably thinking of:
Going by that theory how do you post code 2 farms that are 1mile appart but
have the same postcode and are on different roads?
For the moment I think it make sense to put postcodes on nodes untill we can
get enough data to then know the extent of that post code area. Then we can

In case you haven't seen it
there is an addressing system which has thought this through [1] and
seems to be used as the de facto standard. My personal experience is
that it is a slow and tedious process which I haven't even finished for
the village where I live but don't mention this to

When I map my village this is how I would do it. But as you say very
complicated and will take time to get done. Once we are to the level
of putting houses in then I guess that can been seen as a good thing
as we would be getting closer to the OS maps with the amount of
detail.

not sure it entirely knows what it is, but it's not a coding of the

Streets certainly get postcoded differently on opposite sides of the
street - one just has to look at the street name signs (as used by

Also it's certainly possible where one street has multiple postcodes
