Overview

Points of Interest is a dataset containing around 4 million different geographic features. All features are supplied with location, functional information and addresses where possible. The product covers all of Great Britain.

Points of Interest has a three-level classification to assist customers in identifying the features or sets of features they require. This classification is explained in detail in chapter 3 of the official user guide, but to illustrate the wide range of features included within Points of Interest, the first level of classification, comprising nine groups, is given below.

  • Accommodation, eating and drinking
  • Commercial services
  • Attractions
  • Sport and entertainment
  • Education and health
  • Public infrastructure
  • Manufacturing and production
  • Retail
  • Transport

As each feature is provided with a national grid coordinate, it can be visualised as points on a map using a geographical information system (GIS).
