The Kinematograph Weekly, 1 July 1965, noted that ‘Hidden cameras and radio-mikes are being used at such busy spots as Piccadilly Circus, Westminster Bridge, Waterloo Station, Battersea Park, Royal Festival Hall, Elephant and Castle, Old Kent Road.’ The Daily Cinema added, 26 July, that locations include ‘Battersea Park, Chelsea’s Victoria Hospital for Children, Waterloo Station, Elephant and Castle and the Old Kent Road, among others.’ If all of the above locations were filmed at least a few of them ended up on the cutting room floor.  The Manchester Evening News, 11 August, reported that Michael Caine had been on location at the Tower of London. Archival photographs, some bearing the date ‘2 August 1965’ show Caine filming at The Black Horse, Brixton.
