 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.
