Where's Fenchruch? It's here:
http://maps.google.co.uk/?ie=UTF8&om=1&ll=51.509464,-0.080638&spn=0.018991,0.040255

(Apparently, it's a spelling error of Fenchurch. Via Digg.)

Funny. It took me a while to even notice the spelling error, which reminded me of this:

It deosn't mttaer in waht odrer the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny ipmoertnt tihng is taht the frsit and lsat ltteres are in the rghit pclae, aoccdrnig to Dr Rawlinson. The ltteres 'inside' the wrod can be jmulbed up, but you can siltl raed it wouthit a porbelm.

He did tihs rserach yares ago wtih ltilte inetsrer sohwn at the tmie, but tahnks to an eamil dnoing the runods rcetnly, sicnetsits hvae new intreset in laenrnig how the biran atculaly raeds.

Tom, Fenchurch is mentioned multiple times on the map, sometimes correctly, sometimes wrongly spelled... or is it spelled correctly everytime for you?

Oh ok, I saw only the correctly spelled terms ;-)

But I don't think the fault comes from Google, but the service which provide the local data.
