    You can't filter the list view based on user permissions. If user have read permissions on all items in list then they will be able to see all items.

     

    If you want to hide the items from other users then you can create item level permissions and assign only those permissions which are required based on location. This way users can only see the items on which they have permissions. No need to use any view filtering in this case.

What if one location people have a URL of another location view.
for example if people from London have a URL of the view for USA.

Yogendra_Singh In that case, people from London will be able to see the USA list items using the URL of the view for USA if you haven't broke permissions at list item level.

 

Also, users can change the view from list itself, without needing the direct URL to list view:
