Why is the location not very accurate in London, UK?
The Geo location in London isn't very accurate. I entered "WC2H 7LA London", which is Leicester Square, and it located me somewhere in Covent Garden. Exact location is pretty important in the maze that is London.
I’m indifferent, but wary

We can only be as accurate as the geocoded address that is in our database. Always try to be as specific as possible at street level.
If this is not specific enough you can check in at a latitude, longitude. If you go there often you can then save it as a placemark. In the future you will be able to edit inaccurate information.

Inappropriate?Your UK geocoder does seem to have fairly serious issues. I raised it a few days ago here but didn't get a reply yet:
