This is the latest in an occasional series of blog posts about the campaign for open address data in the UK. Previous posts are listed at the bottom.

In this post, I make available a new open address dataset released by Wandsworth Council.


Background

As described in previous posts, I have recently been requesting Council Tax address datasets from a number of local authorities in England, and asking for permission to re-use the data under the terms of the Open Government Licence.

I have created a landing page on my Datadaptive site with download links and other information about the Council Tax address datasets released as open data so far:

Release from Wandsworth Council

The latest council to release its Council Tax address list is Wandsworth Council in London. The Council disclosed all of the requested information without any difficulties in late November 2025. However, the Council did not provide a substantive response to my re-use request until this week, following the intervention of the ICO. The Council has now confirmed permission for re-use under the terms of the Open Government Licence (OGL).

You can download my correspondence with the Council, including the information as disclosed: CT_address_list_Wandsworth_WBC-FOI-11351.zip (5.78 MB).

Thanks to Wandsworth Council's Freedom of Information team for facilitating the disclosure and open licensing of this data.


Geocoded open version of Wandsworth Council address dataset

I have created a geocoded version of the Wandsworth Council address dataset, which you can also download: WANDSWORTH_CTBANDS_ONSUD_202512.zip (11.6 MB).

This dataset contains information collated from the underlying Council dataset, other than the postcodes. Geographic coordinates and postcodes have been appended from the latest edition of the ONS UPRN Directory (December 2025).

I have prepared the data in CSV and GeoJSON formats, suitable for re-use under the terms of the Open Government Licence (OGL). Please see the enclosed ReadMe file for information on attribution and additional technical details.
