This exceptional value map package is aimed at professional organisations, graphic designers and data analysts who need detailed visual map reference for the UK’s local authorities shown in context with towns, roads and postcode districts. The package includes multiple downloadable maps and free access to our dynamic online maps system.

The package

• 1 x detailed map of the UK showing all 379 of the UK’s local authorities plus hundreds of towns, all major roads and the boundary lines for more than 2,800 postcode districts. This large PDF can be used for on-screen reference and for editing and high-quality printing. If printed with the smallest labels legible at 100%, this map is more than 3 metres in height.
• 10 x individual regions of the UK scaled for A-format poster printing. These maps show the regional local authorities, postcodes, towns and major roads. The smallest labels are legible when the maps are printed at A1 or larger. The 10 regions are shown in the preview images below.
• 1 x map of UK local authorities with towns and roads. This version is for users who need geographical context for the local authorities but not the distraction of postcode districts.
• 1 x map of the basic UK local authorities (without the context of towns, roads or postcode districts). This basic map is also available as a cheap standalone product here for users who do not need any geographical or postcode context for the local authorities.
• 1 x spreadsheet template of the UK’s local authorities in alphabetical order. This planning aid is essential if you want to commission us for a bespoke data-driven online map for local authorities.
• 1 month premium access to our Dynamic Mapping Suite.

Regional maps of local authorities and postcodes in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland

These low-resolution previews show the ten regional maps supplied as high-resolution layered PDFs in the package. The PDFs are scaled in their opening state for A-format poster printing, with the smallest labels scaled for legibility at A1 size and bigger.

 

Notes for graphic designers

The PDF maps are saved with all layers editable using the most recent version of Adobe Illustrator. All elements are live including labels and fonts. The local authority layers are available as both inland boundary lines and polygon fill areas for easy colour editing. The postcode districts are available as inland boundary lines only (not polygon fill areas). Clipping masks have been applied over the boundary lines where text overlaps for the sake of legibility.

The raw Illustrator files of the whole UK are available in both CC and legacy CS versions without clipping masks.

Coterminous and non-coterminous local authority and postcode boundaries

Local Authority boundaries and postcode districts are often related but not always coterminous – not even at country borders! Use our maps to see the relationship. For the best level of detail, use the online map which lets you zoom into street level.
