Why is my location address always inaccurate. I sign in from Surrey, Uk and the message on my iPhone says that i am signing in from Manchester UK.

iMac Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)

If your device is not using cellular and does not have GPS then it bases your location on information for the wi-fi service and its IP address. This may only be whatever address they have for the company and wherever its corporate headquarters happen to be. The same can happen if you have disabled location services in your phone's settings so it is not sending more accurate information to Apple (sorry, I was confused at first by your post being located in the iTunes for Mac forum and didn't see it was about an iPhone -- it helps to post in the correct forum).
