This project aims to create a reliable geometry data set to use to map London Postcodes. The json data contains all main uk postcode areas and their geometry, the lon_postcodes_geometry.csv document instead only contains postcode geometry in the structure
| parent | name | lons | lats |
|---|---|---|---|
| postcode area | postcode | string of longitudes | string of latitudes |
It is important to notice that the latitude and longitude values are strings in the csv. To be used by a mapping library they will have to be converted to floats prior to use.
