@owenboswarva has highlighted that ONS have released a new dataset called National Statistics Address Lookup (NSAL).

It's available for download on this page:

https://geoportal.statistics.gov.uk/geoportal/catalog/content/filelist.page

The dataset matches from an addresses UPRN to a number of interesting things: constituency boundaries, local authorities, ward boundaries, local authority, health board, census output area, etcetera

More info in a copy of the user guide that's hosted here: http://www.owenboswarva.com/opendata/NSAL%20User%20Guide%202015%20v0.1.pdf

This could be useful for Open Addresses' users as we work out how to incorporate UPRNs into the data model: https://openaddressesuk.org/blog/2015/05/09/ordnance-survey-open-data

Once that's done people could incorporate NSAL in bulk or by matching individual records retrieved from our search API.
