[Talk-GB] Reference numbers for UK admin areas?

[Dave F]

Try this:
https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/Nor

area(3601608485); // Sutton
//node[amenity=grit_bin]
nwr[building](area);
out meta center;

As you want a specific area, the way I do it is to get the relation 
boundary's id (from the link you gave in the forum)   & add it to 
3600000000 (which is the start of the databases numbering for relations 
so they don't overlap with ways & nodes).
