House numbering is tricky. Some streets go in number order, others have evens on one side and odds on the other. Lots of streets don't have a number 13. Some London addresses to be posh say they are in neighbouring streets. Harrods for example isn't in Knightsbridge but the Brompton Road.

Lots of terraces have a specific name, which is not the name of the road they are in. I was puzzled by my gt grandparents' address till I discovered that Ingram Place was the same as 13 Hornsey Road.
