To achive that , a zipcode database is used. either you can collect the data by youself, frind a free version or purchase it for a fix price. You can google/bing it by the keyword "UK zip code database"
this is done with a geolocation database. you have a database of locations (city, often to street level) of the longitude and latitude o each location. then its simple math to calc the radius. most modern database have geolocation builtin now, and you can
buy the data.

Search by location feature in job portal
May 08, 2012 01:36 PM|LINK
hello all,
I am in a process of making a job portal for UK job market.
I can see that lot current of the job portals have search criteria "Location" (say "London").
Also user can input distance (radius) in mile (say 5 miles).
And on submit, it will return all jobs within 5 miles radius of London.
Can any one please guide me how i can achieve it.
Regards
