Here is the WKT2 form of the `British National Grid` from:
https://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/trac/ticket/80
```python
>>> from pyproj import CRS
>>> cc = CRS("OSGB 1936 / British National Grid")
>>> cc
<Projected CRS: EPSG:27700>
Name: OSGB 1936 / British National Grid
Axis Info [cartesian]:
- E[east]: Easting (metre)
- N[north]: Northing (metre)
Area of Use:
- name: UK - Britain and UKCS 49°46'N to 61°01'N, 7°33'W to 3°33'E
- bounds: (-9.2, 49.75, 2.88, 61.14)
Coordinate Operation:
- name: British National Grid
- method: Transverse Mercator
Datum: OSGB 1936
- Ellipsoid: Airy 1830
- Prime Meridian: Greenwich

The `coordinate system` and `area of use` currently don't have an equivalent in
the CF conventions. The coordinate system is important to note as the axis
order is taken into account in PROJ 6+ and GDAL 3+.
