I have the ordnance survey postcode polygons, i can get the centre point on the postcode (Using polygon centroids) and all the corner coordinates (using extract nodes)

Does anyone know how to export the coordinates of each postcode boundary to csv so it can be drawn on a google map?

    you could use "skip attribute creation" for the bare coordinates, but the best way is to delete not need columns in openoffice/excel .. btw: you can use save as kml also and import into google map

The MMQGIS plugin allows you to export the geometry to a csv file which includes all coordinates of the polygon corners:

MMQGIS -> Import/Export -> Geometry Export to CSV file
