Hi Emily,
At the BFI we have imported the Ordnance Survey’s Gazzetteer of 250,000 UK place names into our Adlib Thesaurus, with decimal latitude and longitude, and would be happy to make that available to anyone who wants it – which is permitted within the open data licence from the OS.
The geographical data has been used for the Britain on Film strand of the Unlocking Film Heritage project:

If you would like to talk this through further, please contact our Head of Data Stephen McConnachie ([log in to unmask])
Many thanks,
Lucy
BFI, Information Manager (Maternity Cover)
