​I didn't find a package, but I did find this page:
https://www.freemaptools.com/map-tools.htm
If you scroll down to the UK section, you'll find:


   - Download UK Postcodes with Latitude and Longitude
   <https://www.freemaptools.com/download-uk-postcode-lat-lng.htm> -
   Download a list of UK out code postcodes with their latitude and longitude
   coordinates
   ​.​

On that page, you will find a link which will download a ZIP file which
contains a CSV file which says (I didn't download it) it contains the post
code, lat, long for the UK postcodes.
​You might be able to use that as a source for your own lookup code.​ I
found this via Google.
