The exchange is observed by Patrol Women of the International Hospitality League, who see off the prostitute:

They take Dick to a place of safety. Firstly we see them by a building that I think might be the YMCA headquarters at 13 Russell Square:

And then he is at Shakespeare Hut, run by the New Zealand YMCA:

Shakespeare Hut was on the corner of Gower Street and Keppel Street, on the site where would be built the School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine:

We see two other YMCA huts in the film, for the Australians, at the Aldwych Theatre:

And the nearby Eagle Hut, for the Americans:
