Q10. I have a Blackberry device and Yell Mobile app always find results for London, how can I change it?

The location accuracy is based on the GPS signal strength and it is best when the device is in clear view to the Sky (satellite) as far as the auto-detection, if the application does not get a location fix, it defaults to London.

Also this might help on your blackberry goto Options > Advanced Options > GPS > Menu Key > Refresh GPS.

The location can be entered manually as well.
