How we map Great Britain

Run time: 11.00 – 17.00

Ordnance Survey is Great Britain’s national mapping service, providing the trusted location data that underpins everyday life. Our data helps people and organisations make better decisions, from planning and building new homes, to keeping transport running smoothly, to making sure essential services like water and energy are in the right place.
