Comment (by ChristopherSchmidt):
London for a long time used a manual converter from OS X/Y coords to GpS
Lat/Lon. This converter used Airy projection. Google Maps uses WGS-84
projection. Although one may be more accurate on the actual planet or
somethign (I don't know) many of London's points will not map properly
onto Google Maps because of this.
