Where was Nineteen Eighty-Four filmed?
1984 film by Michael Radford
Nineteen Eighty-Four (1984) was filmed in London, London Borough of Newham, London Borough of Wandsworth, East End of London, Chippenham, London Docklands and 10 more places, 16 places named in its Wikipedia article, in the United Kingdom. Wikidata records no filming location for it at all, so the article is the only recorded source. A sentence in an article is weaker evidence than a statement, and every claim on this page says which it is.
Left off on purpose. Not a shoot: The Wikipedia article for this production names Haiti in the part this atlas reads for filming locations, and this atlas does not show it. The sentence says Richard Burton, who was living in Haiti, joined the production six weeks into filming. Haiti is where the actor lived; the film was shot in England. Source.
Places per Wikipedia's article
The article names 16 places. A sentence in an article is weaker evidence than a Wikidata statement, so these are listed apart, never mixed into the statement list, and the claim links straight to where it came from.

Places whose own article says it was shot there
1 place whose own Wikipedia article names this film as something shot there, where Wikidata records nothing and this film’s own article does not say so either. The weakest evidence on this atlas: no pin on the map, and nothing in the downloads. Each sentence is quoted whole and linked to the article it came from, so it can be judged rather than taken on trust.
