Trying to geocode the following address:
65 Gloucester Avenue, London

I do:
http://maps.google.co.uk/maps/api/geocode/json?address=65%20Gloucester%20Avenue,%20London&sensor=false

For some reason it is giving me back results for 65 Gloucester Street
instead.

Performing the same search on the public http://maps.google.co.uk
website brings back the correct result.

I read that searching by postcode is deliberately inaccurate due to
Royal Mail postcode data licensing restrictions... I thought searching
by address was supposed to be accurate though?

Is there anyway to avoid the service just returning random results and
make it usable?
