If you use Firebug and see what is actually being returned for that
request, it's nowhere near Leicester at all!
"name": "LE2 1YA"
"address": "Le2 Rd, Lebec, CA 93243, USA"
"coordinates": [ -118.8712922, 34.8452947, 0 ]

The geocoder is US-biased by default. You could add ", UK" to all your
requests (in the code) to force it to try the UK first. Bear in mind
that postcode geocoding ignores at least the last two letters and may
still make mistakes -- see Issue 1179
