No house number, but everything else. Will it get there?

While some places in UK don't have a house number, they still have a full official address recognized by the post.

Like in the example you've given, "Stamford Bridge" wouldn't be a nickname or a shortcut, it's the actual address. It essentially takes the place of the house number. It's complete. There's no guessing involved.

The OP's case would be different, because he only has the street name, which would make it an incomplete address. The house number is a necessary part of the address, otherwise you're basically telling the post office to guess where this person lives.

OP, I've sent to addresses that have no number before in the UK, and they've always reached the destination. However, you would need a house number for a public street. The times I've sent to addresses with no number were for agencies that DO NOT have numbers on their website. Therefore, it was always bound to reach them, because thats how they advertising the address on their own website.

With someones house, you're going to need the number, else the postman isnt going to know which house he's delivering to... and while the UK postal service use the postcode more than the actual number of the house, its better to include EVERYTHING so that it will definitely reach the targetted person
