You could use Overpass API that offers basic spatial queries. Like this: answered 01 Jun '14, 11:47  RicoElectrico |
Currently we don't provide an easy to use way to get plain lists. Thus you need to process it on your own:
That can be done easily in a Python file but as I say, AFAIK we don't provide a ready-to-use service. answered 01 Jun '14, 08:39 iii edited 01 Jun '14, 08:40 |
... also do a search on this FAQ site about "street list" ... there have been already similar topics with helpful solutions. I recommend to use overpass-api or overpass-turbo and to limit the query area to an administartive area of your choice. Thus you can get the desired result definitively! answered 05 Jun '14, 11:02  stephan75 |
The above can also be achieved with existing software like osmconvert/osmfilter, yielding a CSV file with London streets. However the post codes are another matter entirely; they will not be recorded as attributes to the street so deducing them will require spatial computations if it is possible at all. -- Also note one street can consist of a number of individual parts in OSM and therefore will show up multiple times in your result list.
Thank you Fredrik Excuse my lack of knowledge but I would not know the first thing about how to do this. Can a simpleton do this? Regards K
