I am new to linked data and trying to link ordnance survey postcodes to LSOA data.

I am using the OS linked Data Sparql API and the end point is: 

http://data.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/datasets/os-linked-data/apis/sparql

I have a query which returns the postcodes, although I am trying to link LSOA codes with the postcodes to learn from. The code I have so far is:

SELECT ?postcode WHERE { 

        ?postcodeUnit a <http://data.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/ontology/postcode/PostcodeUnit>
        BIND (STRAFTER((STR(?postcodeUnit)),'postcodeunit/') as ?postcode)  

}limit 10

This code brings back the postcodes, but I am trying to link to LSOA codes. Thanks in Advance

You may be a bit stuck with this data source.

http://data.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/ontology/postcode/PostcodeUnit

Shows that there is no LSOA data associated with a postcode unit. And a quick look at the RDF for the site shows that they don't have a field called LSOA.
