FB Question

Oh I hate asking this.

Under the security settings in Facebook, there is information regaarding active sessions, and this is where facebook shows your location information, I think from your IP address.

Well, when at work, Facebook thinks i'n in London, and when at home (400m from work) I'm pinpointed to Wembley.

Now it's nothing major, just when I change my status, facebook put's where I'm located and I'm fed up of telling folk that I'm about 100 miles north of London.
I've looked, but there seems no option to change.
Any ideas?

I suspect that there's not much you can do about it.

Your home location is only as accurate as your ISP can be bothered to record - if they use dynamic IP address allocation it can be very difficult to maintain accuracy.

Your work location is probably shown wrong because the company runs an internal network which connects to the internet at a different location than where you work.

Realistically you won't be able to change either. Is there an option to just turn the location indicator off in FB?

There does't appear to be an option to turn off, just close current sessions, which I've done, and it reopens.
Work computer, is just one stand alone computer, noting else.
It's odd that FB thinks they're both in London.
