The Post Office are not the only people to have that database.

I've found querying Google to be very successful in the past. It doesn't
cost anything, and seems to be very accurate. You can get lat/long for any
given postcode, and I've done it from both perl and PHP. It does require a
sign-up, which is tied to a particular domain.
