google maps - get city from geocoder results?

Question

Having problems getting the different arrays content from geocoder results.

item.formatted_address works but not item.address_components.locality?

geocoder.geocode( {'address': request.term }, function(results, status) {

        response($.map(results, function(item) {

        alert(item.formatted_address+" "+item.address_components.locality)
    }            
}); 

// the array returned is;

 "results" : [
      {
         "address_components" : [
            {
               "long_name" : "London",
               "short_name" : "London",
               "types" : [ "locality", "political" ]
            } ],
          "formatted_address" : "Westminster, London, UK" // rest of array...

any help appreciated!

Got this working in the end using:

var arrAddress = item.address_components;
var itemRoute='';
var itemLocality='';
var itemCountry='';
var itemPc='';
var itemSnumber='';

// iterate through address_component array
$.each(arrAddress, function (i, address_component) {
    console.log('address_component:'+i);

    if (address_component.types[0] == "route"){
        console.log(i+": route:"+address_component.long_name);
        itemRoute = address_component.long_name;
    }

    if (address_component.types[0] == "locality"){
        console.log("town:"+address_component.long_name);
        itemLocality = address_component.long_name;
    }

    if (address_component.types[0] == "country"){ 
        console.log("country:"+address_component.long_name); 
        itemCountry = address_component.long_name;
    }

    if (address_component.types[0] == "postal_code_prefix"){ 
        console.log("pc:"+address_component.long_name);  
        itemPc = address_component.long_name;
    }

    if (address_component.types[0] == "street_number"){ 
        console.log("street_number:"+address_component.long_name);  
        itemSnumber = address_component.long_name;
    }
    //return false; // break the loop   
});
