Stand still and watch for two minutes. Wasps travel in straight lines to and from a nest, and that line leads you to it without going anywhere near it.
Watch the flight line from a safe distance. Wasps travel in consistent straight routes to and from the nest. A steady two-way stream at one point is the entrance.
You do not need to see the nest itself — the entry point is all we need, and finding it is safer and easier.
Foraging wasps around a bin, a fallen apple or a drink tell you nothing. A steady two-way stream at one fixed point is a nest entrance.
You are looking for a queue, not a crowd. Wasps milling about a bin are shopping. Wasps going in and out of one spot in a soffit are commuting.

Soffits, fascia and eaves, the loft, a shed or garage apex, air bricks, and under decking or a garden step.
Stay well back, do not stand in the flight line, keep children and pets indoors, do not climb anything, and go inside if wasps start investigating you.
Look for steady traffic into a hole in a bank or lawn edge. Mark it from a distance and keep children off that part of the garden — mowing over one is how people get badly stung.
That often means a nest in the loft or a soffit, coming through a light fitting or loft hatch. Do not block the gap — it drives them into the room.
