Indeed, as you imply, the boundary is marked on the map - it's the thick 
black line. The pin you placed is clearly on the Elmbridge side of the 
border (so the East Area of Surrey).

The closest address to the pin you left for the problem report you're 
referring to was 1 The Ridgeway, Walton-On-Thames, 28m away and pretty 
accurate for where you were reporting. Bridge Street was not mentioned 
anywhere.

 From the sound of it, it really doesn't :)
