One of the topics from last nights social was Open Addresses UK:
https://alpha.openaddressesuk.org/

The question was- how accurate? In my quick straw poll I check 3 addresses
and found that they are accurate to street level but not individual
property. We wondered how they take a submitted address and assign
coordinates. It seems like the answer is that they are using postcode
centroids.

The data could be used in Matt's post code tool although that seems to be
down at the moment unless I've got the url wrong:
