Re: [mySociety:public] UK Postcodes and a teensy favour 
Hi Mark
 
Give this method a try:
 
http://www.uk-postcodes.com/latlng/{lat},{lng}
 
Should do what you want it to do :)
 
Cheers

Nice. On a slightly related note, is there any published database or API
that allows me to get from either a latitude/longitude or OS grid
reference to local authority names, without needing to know the postcode
first?

(I know it could be done indirectly by finding the nearest postcode to a
point and then looking up the postcode in CodePoint, but that's not
always going to be reliable near authority boundaries).
