It's worth plugging all the ways in which UK citizens can contribute to independent reverse engineering this info in a clean room manner:
If you've got an iPhone, Android phone or other GPS device: http://www.freethepostcode.org/
If your house was built before 1940 then locate it on an out-of-copyright map: http://www.npemap.org.uk/
Just type in your streetname and postcode: http://postcodedb.sourceforge.net/index.php?p=submit
Identify the location of nearby postboxes: http://www.dracos.co.uk/play/locating-postboxes/
