Maps and setting a work place

I am having a great deal of trouble here in the UK with setting my place of work to show in my favourites as the brown work icon. I work in a hospital and it wont let me set this or any of the other hospitals in the area as a place of work. Even if I save a business across the road from us because it has 'Hospital' in the address (the road name) it wont let me save that in favourites as work. However if i type in work it how's it on the map as the brown icon. If I save for instance a Halfords as my place of work in my contact card that shows in favourites as my place of work as the brown icon and the distance from me underneath. I was wondering if there was a work around or if others have had this problem too? It's not unmanageable, just a pain that its not working as I expect it to.
