Google Adding Incorrect Location to the end of Title Tags in SERPs
-
Are there references to the London address on the non-London URLs? For example, on the Scotland store page look for references to the London address, e.g: in the footer of the page. You may need to alter some on-page instances to correct this, but the structured data should help

Thanks for your response.
No, London doesn't appear anywhere on the store pages (unless they're in London). Not in the footer at all.
-
It might just be Google being Google, using too many off-page signals (e.g: links, local citations / accepted directory listings). I wonder if there are inbound signals contradicting on-page factors
-
Yes, good point. I think that's something for me to investigate, but I haven't noticed anything that would have caused me to flag that earlier...

This was brought to my attention:
New SERP feature truncates title tag in favor of location
https://searchengineland.com/new-serp-feature-truncates-title-tag-in-favor-of-location-324917Still not sure how to override this from happening. I'm tweaking Title Tags to see if that has an effect...
Has this happened to any one else?

I haven't seen this issue before.
But if you can't get it to change anytime soon, my recommendation is to add more words to the title tag so that Google generates an elipsis in the SERPs. Then if Google continues to add "London" at the end, no one will see it in the SERPs because it will come after the elipsis.

Thanks Boyd. Our new schema might have made things better, but testing new title tags is definitely on the cards too.

Can we use a blog section to promote our business or home service website? Need some suggestions.
