In R: Finding latitude and longitude of centroid given ONS LSOA code

I've got a dataset with ONS LSOA codes (e.g. LSOAstring="Westminster 018B", LSOAcode="E01004735") and want a lookup function that gives the latitude and longitude of the LSOA's centroid.

I've installed PostcodesioR, hoping that I would be able to use the LSOA code in the package to find out the centroid lat and long. However it seems to only work for mapping postcodes to lat/longs, not LSOAs.

I can't find any csv/xls lookup file on the ONS website.

Thank you for any help.

Solution

  • Resolved: I found an LSOA to coordinate lookup on the UK Data Service:
