Links policy

Outbound links

We only provide outward links from our site to those companies or organisations that we have business connections with. These would include:

  • Our business partners, including Ordnance Survey Mapping and Data Centres, Maps@ Stockists, Approved Educational Suppliers and Licensed Partners;
  • The 'N' organisations, including NLIS and NLUD;
  • Related government departments/initiatives;
  • Other national mapping agencies;
  • Our corporate charities;
  • Our sponsorship partners;
  • Organisations linked to us through marketing campaigns; and
  • Universities linked to us through research projects.

Inbound links

We request that anyone wanting to create a link to our web site contacts us before doing so. We welcome links to or from other sites providing they meet the criteria outlined below:

  • Only those organisations covered by the outward links list above may use our Corporate Mark (logo) as a hyperlink; 
  • If other organisations or companies wish to establish a hyperlink, then it must be text only (no Corporate Mark).
  • In all cases, the link must open a new window and not load into an existing frame (that is, not make our information look like part of your site).
  • We will not reasonably refuse a request for an inward link, provided that the organisation is reputable and would cause us no business or political embarrassment.
  • The 'linker' must maintain the correct URL at all times.

Requests for inbound and outbound links to our web site should be made to customerservices@ordnancesurvey.co.uk.
