Points of Interest
Points of Interest contains around 4 million places across Great Britain that you can visit – for business and pleasure. Each point is classified into one of more than 600 types, so you can identify points by their use and function as well as by their postal address or location. Very useful for insurance companies when assessing risks of individual buildings or for services companies wishing to plan their workload.
Here Points of Interest is overlaid on OS MasterMap Topography Layer.
