This really wasn't that hard to find (include "gis" in your searches): http://geoportal.statistics.gov.uk/ And governments in Europe are stimulated to provide that data to their citizens free of charge and in open formats (since we pay taxes for the government to gather that data, so why should we pay twice). Here's the equivalent for The Netherlands: http://www.nationaalgeoregister.nl/geonetwork/srv/dut/catalog.search#/home https://www.kadaster.nl/bag And Switzerland: https://opendata.swiss/en/group/geography Note that these are all to be considered authoritative, but not all are provided in a useful format. Therefore it sometimes pays off to go with alternative proprietary services, purchase databases that have information linked properly or go with Open Street Map. -- Melvyn Sopacua -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
