The scene was filmed at Drury Lane, designed by Benjamin Dean Wyatt and opened with a production of "Hamlet" in 1812. It was built after the old theatre was destroyed by fire, and it is the fourth theatre to stand on this site. Originally, the theatre seated over 3,000 spectators (compared to 3,600 in the previous building), but after a major renovation in 1922, its capacity was reduced to 2,000.

The scene was filmed at Lancaster House, a neoclassical mansion built in 1825 for the Duke of York and Albany, designed by Sir Robert Smirke, and later succeeded by Benjamin Dean Wyatt. The interior was only completed in 1840 with the help of a third architect, Sir Charles Barry. The house has become a popular stand-in for Buckingham Palace in film and television, playing that role half a dozen times.

London Heathrow Airport

The scene was filmed at Heathrow Airport, which began as a small airfield called Great West Aerodrome near the small village of Heathrow to the west of London. In 1944, the airport began to expand significantly to support the war effort, but after the war ended, it was converted into a civilian airport. The original layout and terminals were designed by Sir Frederick Gibberd, and it is now one of the busiest airports in the world.

The scene was filmed at St Pancras Station, built by the Midland Railway in 1868 as the terminus of its only line into London. It was designed by William Henry Barlow with a single-span iron roof, the largest of its time at 245 feet. In the early 2000s, the platforms were extended with a new train shed to accommodate longer Eurostar trains arriving through the Channel Tunnel. Immediately after the station's completion, construction began on the hotel at the front of the station, designed by architect George Gilbert Scott in an Italian Gothic style using polychrome brick. The hotel operated until 1935, when it was converted into offices, but in 2011 it was renovated and turned back into a hotel.

The scene was filmed at The Reform Club, a private members' club built in 1841 by architect Sir Charles Barry in the Italian Renaissance style. Originally founded as an all-male club and home to progressive political parties, it was the first of its kind to admit women in 1981, and now, after the decline of the Liberal Party, it has shifted to a less political role.
