Along with the prepositions in the pictures (из, до, от, недалеко от, около), there are many others. Here are some more examples:

Preposition ‘у’

• Наш офис прямо у станции метро "Новокузнецкая". Давай встретимся там.
• Our office is right by the Novokuznetskaya metro station. Let's meet there

Preposition ‘напротив’

• ГУМ находится на Красной площади, напротив Кремля.
• GUM department store is on Red Square in front of the Kremlin.

Preposition ‘мимо’

• Мы прошли мимо Третьяковской галереи и вышли на набережную.
• We passed by Tretyakov Gallery and came to the embankment.
