EPSG:10212 GWPBS22 Grid
Projected system (Lambert Conic Conformal (2SP)) in use: UK - London to Swansea. The full definition below, and conversion in one click.
EPSG publishes no simple transformation to WGS 84 for this datum: conversion works on the ellipsoid alone and can be off by tens of metres.
