 There's a named footpath between a bank and a street, and this causes
 Nominatim to report the footpath "Walkway" as the bank's address:

 http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/1258483211

 "Bank Santander, Walkway, City of Westminster, London, Greater London,
 England, SW7 2AZ, United Kingdom, European Union"

 It would be nice if Nominatim could figure that out, e.g. take into
 account how close the path is to the street and use street's name instead?
