After reading this thread and the comments on the diary post, I decided to see if there was any streetview there now... So, I entered Lynton Close, Wembley into the Google Maps find box and these were the first and third results...

Teleatlas seem to have it fully mapped, including a side road within the area (as seen on google), but perhaps they used the aerial imagery... Navteq, as seen on yahoo didn't seem to want to go near it and it appears made a guess at the angle and length too... d
