Help WiFi causing wrong location on Google maps and other apps.

Hi, I recently moved house and subsequently got a new WiFi set up. Ever since it was set up my phone now thinks I'm in a town about 200 miles away. I'm pretty sure its the WiFi that's caused it because my location is fine anywhere else. I know I can turn off WiFi location but most apps seem to need it (Tinder in particular ;) ). Can anyone help me with this situation??
 
Unfortunately WiFi location is sometimes wrong. Yeh 200 miles away. I've had it with me being on a different continent. Like was actually in London, but the WiFi location has me as being in Hong Kong...OK!
Solution...turn on GPS location, it's a lot more accurate.
