It's a bit flaky. Here is whatismyip.com:

City: Sheffield
State: England

Sheffield is a city well into the North of England.

Here's geoip.com:

United Kingdom
ENG
England
Washington

50.9049
-0.40649

This isn't the original Washington, which is in East Anglia, this is a
tiny village near the south coast of England.

And I live in the easternmost London Borough. So much for accuracy. My
ISP's national HQ is in Sheffield, but where the hell Washington comes
from, I don't know.
