[Talk-GB] Essex appearing in various London address nominatim results

[Martin - CycleStreets]

Essex seems to be coming up in lots of place searches in the London area in 
Nominatim - we've just had a bug report about it. This problem seems to 
have started a few weeks ago, I think. However, I'm not confident enough 
with data editing to fix this - could someone take a look?

Shaun has said to me:

but this sounds a bit scary to me, especially as the Essex node seems to be 
quite well-established. I can't see how it is affecting Greenwich, and I 
can't see that "London" is being included for Greenwich.

Would someone kindly be able to have a look at this?
