As long as the town is in the address around 99%. The machines won't be able to sort it so it will be manually processed throughout its journey, this may slow it down but it shouldn't stop it getting to you.

So, as TBT said, the chances of receiving it are good, but it might take a couple of days extra due to the fault in the address. You should be aware that there are currently large delays at UK customs and it can take a couple of weeks to clear that stage of the process, and that you might have to pay tax if the contents are worth more than £18.
