St George's Fields (Lambeth North): A large open space covering parts of Southwark and Lambeth, roughly centred on St George's Circus.

Over the next nine decades, TfL's Lost Property Office has become the largest of its kind in Europe, recovering more than 200,000 lost items each year on London's vast transport network, including the Tube and buses and more recently the Elizabeth line. However, as London's transport network grew, so did the number of items lost on the network, and in 2019 the office was temporarily relocated to Pelham Street in South Kensington while a more suitable permanent location was identified. The Lost Property Office has now moved to West Ham on a permanent basis.

The film strikes a comedic tone despite the dramatic subject matter, and that lies partly in the truth of the story. Lost in London is based on the true story of a London night in June 2002.
