If the locations are roughly in the same geographical area then you can use a corrective factor for the longitude difference. The latitude is always the same distance per degree but the longitude distance per degree depends on the latitude (biggest at the equator,zero at the poles). For a latitude of 52 degrees the factor would be around 0.63 etc.
