OHN is not O but 0 (zero) it is 0HN, where the

0= Postcode sector
HN= Postcode unit

The postcodes are alphanumeric, and are variable in length: ranging from six to eight characters (including a space) long.
Each post code is divided into two parts separated by a single space:
the outward code and the inward code respectively.
The outward code includes the postcode area and the postcode district, respectively.
The inward code includes the postcode sector and the postcode unit respectively.


The composition of Postcodes in the United Kingdom

The structure of a postcode is a one or two-letter postcode area code named for a local town or area of London, one or two digits signifying a district in that region, a space, and then an arbitrary code of one number and two letters. For example, the postcode of the University of Roehampton in London is SW15 5PU, where SW stands for south-west London. The postcode of GCHQ is GL51 0EX, where GL signifies the postal town of Gloucester.
