C#
string myTown = document.Element("GeocodeResponse").Element("result").Elements("address_component").Where(x => (string)x.Element("type").Value == "locality").Select(x => x.Element("long_name").Value).First();


works fine but

C#
List<GeocoderLocation> geoList = new List<GeocoderLocation>();
                        geoList = (from result in document.Descendants("result")
                                  select new GeocoderLocation
                                  {
                                      Town = result.Elements("address_component").Where(x => (string)x.Element("type").Value == "locality").Select(x => x.Element("long_name").Value).First(),
                                      
                                  }).ToList();

does not. It throws exception InvalidOperationException Sequence contains no elements.

This is attempt to parse geocode from google http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/xml?address=miry%20ln%20uk&sensor=false[^]
Why?

My bad. I assumed that it was throwing exception on first go. But it didn't and the cause of problem was that some nodes didn't contain postcode or something else and therefore being empty.

Solution: instead of .First() use .FirstOrDefault()
