Is there a definitive postcode (outcode) map online?

All the maps I have show Mayow Rd as being half in SE23, half in SE26,
whereas numerous signs on the road itself say that it is all in SE23...
however, signs on Lockwood Close show that as SE26, and I can't imagine
the post office putting a dead-end road off an SE23 road in SE26. However,
2 sign errors, one rather bizarre, within a half-kilometre of Mayow Road
cause me to have no confidence in Lewisham Council's signage department.


If you go to the Post Office postcode page
http://postcode.royalmail.com/portal...catId=400145&p...
and enter Mayow Road you will find it lists both SE23 and SE26 and you can
then look at which numbers are in which.


Not what John's after, and I'm sure he knows this already, but the
mapping used by both Streetmap and Multimap for London at least shows
postcode boundaries (as do some editions of the A-Z and other street
atlases).
