The muffed postal drop filmed in the middle of Piccadilly Circus,
where the villains manage to escape through convenient
unlikely sewers, because there is a tube station down there!!

Tower Bridge
http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c187/john-wayne/John%20Wayne/london_tower_bridge.jpg
The most famous scene is the car leap across a half-opened Tower Bridge.
The Metropolitan Police HQ, Scotland Yard, seems to jump the Thames too,
from its usual home in Victoria.
The view from the windows is obviously south of the River Thames.
These scenes were shot in St Thomas’ Hospital.

Battersea Park
http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c187/john-wayne/John%20Wayne/9b59c6b4.jpg
Brannigan’s temporary London home is 61-80 York Mansions,
Prince of Wales Drive alongside Battersea Park, south London
(though when the villains booby-trap his toilet with a bomb,
the resulting hole in the wall mysteriously reveals a view
of the Albert Memorial in Hyde Park).
Which in that location, it would not!

The Lamb- Pub
http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c187/john-wayne/John%20Wayne/6c621013.jpg
The obligatory pub fight, where everyone ends up flailing at everyone else,
was filmed in The Lamb in the centre of the Victorian arcaded
Leadenhall Market at the foot of the new Lloyds Building
which also houses the entrance to
‘The Leaky Cauldron’ in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.
More recently, the late Heath Ledger charmed the ladies here
when the travelling show is set up in Terry Gilliam’s The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus.
