Hancock walks up Agamemnon Road from Fortune Green to his lodgings at the corner of Ulysses Road:

'Agamemnon Road' is written above the door, probably because, though the entrance is on Ulysses Road, the house's address must have been changed at some point. Perhaps it was out if superstition since, in the sequence of houses on Agamemnon Road, it would be numbered 13.
If there is any doubting this identification, a detail in the brickwork behind Mrs Crevatte can be matched to number 26, across the road:

The station from which Hancock travels each morning is called Fortune Green South, aptly so since Agamemnon Road is just south of Fortune Green:
Though his home is in North London the station used for the film was - as is already well documented - Bingham Road, in Croydon. The train's destination is Waterloo, which loosely fits a south London setting, though trains from Bingham Road went to Cannon Street or Charing Cross, not Waterloo.
The office building from which Hancock emerges at the end of the day still eludes identification:
It is twelve storeys high, and there weren't many office buildings in 1961 that height. Of those that survive none matches the film, so my guess is that it has been demolished. Possible candidates include Drury House or Orbit House on Blackfriars Road, Southbridge House on Southwark Bridge Road and St Martin's House on Tottenham Court Road. Any suggestions here, please.
