I am wanting to get a copy of the OS 1km Grid layer.
I have found these previous questions:
But neither provide the information I required.
The first question does provide some links to the OS web site but these now return the 404 error. A subsequent comment mentions its half way down this page:
But which specific item should I be downloading? It is not obvious!
Currently (September 2016) there is a new map service in beta status created by grough Limited in the UK. That has based OpenStreetMap Data and combined Ordnance Survey styles (as close as possible) for Hill Walking.
This website only contains Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales.)
Please note there are limitations like in Birmingham where the OSM data is complete and not complete (every building) they have tried to fill the gap with Ordnance Survey VectorMap District buildings (OpenData) these are not individual properties but merged units.
Buildings are patchy with the different completeness of OpenStreetMap.
It is still a very comprehensive and fine attempt of recreating the 1:25k Maps based on opendata.

Many of these answers are now out of date with dead links.
There is useful github here with OS National Grid Shapefiles at various scales:
