Quite a lot of stuff of the placename info on OS StreetView probably
_shouldn't_ be in OSM. Leaving aside farm and house names, the where I
used to live in Derbyshire is according to OS StreetView composed of 5
different "villages". It's actually either 1 or 2, depending on who you
ask. It's probably less of an issue in London (less space for
extraneous names), though.
Best Regards,
