You can add navigation to your map by utilizing data attributes in your HTML. Save the latitude,longitude and zoom to something like data-position and then call those values with some JavaScript when the user clicks on the anchor tag. Here's some code to illustrate.

<div id="map">
    <div id="map-navigation" class="map-navigation">
        <a href="#" data-zoom="12" data-position="37.7733,-122.4367">
            San Francisco
        </a>
    </div>
</div>

<script>
var map = L.map('map').setView([51.505, -0.09], 13);

L.tileLayer('http://{s}.tile.cloudmade.com/BC9A493B41014CAABB98F0471D759707/997/256/{z}/{x}/{y}.png', {
                maxZoom: 18,

            }).addTo(map);

document.getElementById('map-navigation').onclick = function(e) {
    var pos = e.target.getAttribute('data-position');
    var zoom = e.target.getAttribute('data-zoom');
    if (pos && zoom) {
        var loc = pos.split(',');
        var z = parseInt(zoom);
        map.setView(loc, z, {animation: true});
        return false;
    }
}
</script>
