John Rowland:
I notice that part of Gillett St N16 has been renamed to Bailey Place N16...
unfortunately, there is already a Batley Place N16, so there will be
numerous letters sent to the wrong address over the next 50 years.

Not if the rest of the postcode is present and is used.

Now let's talk about an Underground system that has two stations called
Edgware Road and one called Edgware, but where trains to Ealing Broadway
station are marked Ealing, and Canada Water and Canary Wharf are
consecutive stations on the same line...
