On a fraking island man.

In addition to the previous ingenious answer, let me add the following:

The island that Lord of Flies takes place on is most likely part of the Maldives in the Indian ocean. Though Golding himself references, "Pacific waves" in Chapter Four, the Pacific Ocean doesn't make any sense. In Chapter One Jack refers to Simon fainting in "Gib and Addis." These clearly refer to the Rock of Gibraltar and Addis Abbaba. Connecting the dots from London to the Rock to Ethiopia (capital: Addis Abbaba) leads directly into the Indian Ocean, which also makes sense because the British children were probably being sent to Australia to avoid the war.
