Later on in my program I want to print out the destination that the user has chosen here, how do I do this?
void create(){
char name[200],from,to;
int age;
printf("Please enter your name :\n");
scanf("%s",&name);
printf("Please enter your age :\n");
scanf("%d",&age);
printf("Pick your current destination");
printf("\n1 for London\n2 for Manchester\n3 for Brighton\n4 for
Liverpool\n4 for reading\n5 for coventry\n");
scanf("%s",&from);
if(from == 1){
printf("Select your desired destination %s",&from);
from =("London");

Answer 1

It seems you mean
scanf( " %c", &from );
^^^^^
//...
if( from == '1' ){
^^^

Answer 2

In short, if you want to access the local variable from, declared inside the functoion create(), it is not possible [you can hope the variable lies in the same address after the function has returned and try to access that same address in hope that the value is still there but this is UB].
Waht you can do is to declare it globaly, or return it from the function
// option 1) global variable
char from;
int main(){
... create(); // don't declare from inside the function, because it is already declared globaly
// do something with from
... }
// option 2) return from function - need to change the create function to return the from variable
char from;
int main(){
from = create();
// do something with from
... }
Note that you're using scanf / printf incorrectly:
scanf("%s",&from); should be scanf("%c",&from); since from is char, not char[] or char*
printf("Select your desired destination %s",&from); should be printf("Select your desired destination %c",from);

Answer 3

Here...The program doesn't have any variable for the location.... It means you can't fetch data to print from no where.... So the program must have the data in program in itself.... if not..... No source no data....
If you want to continue the program as it is... You can use switch statement and display the value later as:
switch(from){
case 1:
printf("London\n");
break;
case 2:
printf("Manchestar\n");
break;
case 3:
printf("Brigeton\n");
break;
default:
//(default Option);
}
You can also use character array.
for eg:
int from;
int location[3][10]={"London","Manchestar","Brigeton"};
printf("\n1.London\n2.Manchestar\n3.Brigeton");
printf("\nChoose whose city do you want to visit: ");
scanf("%d",&from);
printf("You have choosen %s",location[from-1]);
In this way, we can give choice to end user and also we can fetch data directly...
