It's a "Large User" postcode - that is, one assigned specifically to a <br>
particular addressee which receives large amounts of postal mail.<br>
<br>
In this case, it's a former (now closed) Natwest Bank branch in <br>
Richmond-on-Thames. So the postcode is now defunct, and will eventually <br>
be marked as such on a forthcoming update of the ONSPD and Codepoint Open.<br>
<br>
(You can see the building in all its defunctness on Google Streetview, <br>
complete with a hole in the wall where the, er, hole in the wall machine <br>
