Apart from such real locales as Trafalgar Square and the Thames River, London locations in the film include the Happiness Hotel, the Dubonnet Club, No. 17 Highbrow Street, and the Mallory Gallery.

The UK spots for The Muppet Show Episode 519 (Maybe It's Because I'm A Londoner) and Episode 522 (On A Bus) were performed by Muppets on a red double decker bus, exploring London.
