Does anyone know where I can get access to some good location data for towns / cities / counties etc for the UK or globally?

Hoping to use for auto-completing forms in a web app.

Answer 1

You can try OpenStreetMap. You can download geolocation data for the entire planet, or just for some areas.

Answer 2

You can also take a look at the open data portal of the UK.
