Pretty much the entirety of central Croydon (Greater London, UK) is listed
as being within "Thornton Heath" and also "SE25". Croydon is a large
town; Thornton Heath is a suburb lying to the north, and SE25 is the
postal code of South Norwood, a different suburb lying to the north-east.
Looking at the Nominatim results for Thornton Heath
(http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/details.php?place_id=4358752) and
Croydon (http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/details.php?place_id=113996),
the only possible problem I can see is that Croydon is listed as "Rank:
Village/Hamlet" but I'm not sure what this means in practice, especially
as it also has "Admin Level: 15" which is (I think?) correct...
As a specific instance, Surrey Street
(http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/details.php?place_id=37838695) is a
street in central Croydon which has the misattribution described above.
