Kate I am not having any problems but in the long run it might be a good idea if the site gets bigger as someone leaving in Kensington may not want a listing of pubs in Sutton.
If you want to just list the pubs in Kensington you can use this addon I wrote: http://london.randomness.org.uk/scripts/locate.cgi?loc=Kensington;cat=Pubs;m...
I think the problem you're trying to solve though is that of "find me all the pubs within a certain distance of a certain location". You can do this on RGL with the pub search; for example, all pubs within 1km of High Street Kensington Station: http://london.randomness.org.uk/scripts/pubsearch.cgi?locale=&postal_dis...
I recall from previous correspondence that you're particularly interested in cafes - for cafes you would use the food search: http://london.randomness.org.uk/scripts/foodsearch.cgi?locale=&postal_di...
There isn't a really good way to do this for a general category (I've special-cased pubs and food on RGL). The location search built into OpenGuides can be coerced into it, but it's not a perfect solution as it doesn't let you search by category, you need to know your OS coordinates, and it doesn't do map display.
