Hi there. I am currently doing a personal project that involves how far people in the UK have to travel to get to the nearest Boots store. I have looked at the website List of stores A-Z but I find it quite difficult to scrape because the link to each store has a rather irregular path. Or maybe I’m just not skilled enough at Beautifulsoup. There is also the Store locator but that involves punching in every single postcode in the UK. I’ve scoured the internet for a full list to no avail, and some of the seemingly promising lists have missed many of the small stores out.
I’d be grateful if anyone could help me find a dataset that includes the postcodes of every store in the UK, or could point me in the right direction as to how to generate such a list from the websites above. TIA!!!
