These are other places that have a Python connection, but aren't necessarily filming locations:

     

Neal's Yard, Covent Garden, London, UK

This was the location of the Monty Python production offices. Terry Gilliam and Michael Palin bought them for use in animation recording and as an editing suite for the Python films and other projects. Although they sold the building in 1987, a blue plaque remains marking the spot (saying "Monty Python lived here").

     

The King William IV pub, 77 Hampstead High Street, London, UK

One of London's oldest gay pubs, this was one of Graham Chapman's favourite watering holes.
