Other than shots of the Houses of Parliament obscured by newspaper headlines, the film is confined to Teddington Studios except for this view of Windsor Castle in Berkshire used to set the scene for a meeting between Benjamin Disraeli and Queen Victoria.

The grassy bank that once existed here has been paved over to accommodate riverside apartments. (SR)
