I notice that part of Gillett St N16 has been renamed to Bailey Place N16...
unfortunately, there is already a Batley Place N16, so there will be
numerous letters sent to the wrong address over the next 50 years.

Some minor official in the Borough Council. The local one in Cambridge
sometimes drives me to distraction with his perversity.

At least some have a sense of humour - there's a road by Sheffield
Airport called Letsby Avenue. Appropriately enough when it was built
the only building on it was a police station.

Not if the rest of the postcode is present and is used.
Now let's talk about an Underground system that has two stations called
Edgware Road and one called Edgware, but where trains to Ealing Broadway
station are marked Ealing, and Canada Water and Canary Wharf are
consecutive stations on the same line...
