Note this BSV includes a fixed username of demo embedded in the Javascript. This username has a limit of 30,000 requests a day.....you can create your own username at geonames.org for free.

Noice. Noticed that they have post code data too, though only to the Postal Town level for the UK

UK Post codes go to down to building grouping level - so SW1Y 4LR / 23 is sufficient to get an item delivered to 23 Regent Street, LONDON, SW1Y 4LR
