ordnance survey - QGIS OS grid overlay


I'm totally new to GIS. However, I've proudly managed to create a map, which is correctly geo-referenced with a Great Britain Ordnance Survey (OS) background (streetview level) and I've added some point data.


I would like to know how to create or import a layer with the OS grid lines. I'm sure this has been done a million times, but I can't seem to find the answer on the web - I suspect I'm not using the correct search terms.


Any help appreciated.




Answer



You can find the OS Grids here

Download the shapefiles and then load them in


You will probably need to adjust the styling and turn on labelling using the tile name as a text label
