This only works to effectively 'hide' the previous recipient from the previous recipients list on your phone. Apple still keeps a file with all your previous recipients in iCloud. When you completely 'Erase all Content and Settings' and set up as a new phone, then sign in to iCloud all the previous recipients are restored. In other words you have to do this painful process of deleting every previous recipient you don't want in the list individually every time you get a new iPhone/iPad or otherwise want to start from scratch and do a complete erase on your current device, even if you set up as a new device. This is easily replicated and proved.
In fact I intend to go to an Apple Shop soon to demonstrate and question the behaviour and whether it's possible for Apple to delete information about who I've emailed. The inconvenience is one thing but I'm more concerned about the privacy implications that Apple keeps a 'previous recipients' master file that you don't have access to and whose entries can't be deleted. A similar situation exists for Mail on OS X though it appears to be a different previous recipients master file. That is, every time I do a clean install of OS X or even set up a new account and log in to iCloud, the Mail app shows a bunch of previous email recipients that aren't present in any email message! Fantastic information for the government along with all your other metadata.
Outlook appointments show a drop-down list for Location, populated with the most recently used locations added to appointments. You cannot populate this list with your own preferred locations, or delete a location from the list. You can, however, clear the list by closing Outlook, removing a value in the Windows registry and then restarting Outlook. Always make a backup of the registry before making any changes. While you cannot populate the locations easily, you can add new locations and force older locations to drop off the list because the list is limited to the last 10 locations used.
Create a new appointment and add a location then save it. Repeat for each additional location. This obviously works best if you want to replace older locations, not the last location you used. To select a location from the most recently used locations, click the arrow on the right side to display the MRU list. Delete LocationMRU Key Press Windows Key + R to open the Run command and type regedit then press Enter. Browse to the following path, right click on LocationMRU and select Delete.

No, there isn't an option to set a default location but you could use a macro to set it when you open a new message. This macro will set the location field of the current meeting request.
It would also be easy to create a new meeting with the field filled in (change the line to Set olAppt = Application.CreateItem(olAppointmentItem)) but it's harder to do it using the New Meeting command. Public Sub SetLocation Dim objAppt As AppointmentItem Set objAppt = Application.ActiveInspector.currentItem With objAppt.Location = 'Office' End With End Sub.
