Its under the Red Keep, was under the Sept, and is under the major thoroughfares. The Mad King was going to burn Kings Landing and everything/everyone in it rather than let Tywin Lannister take it at the end of the rebellion. That's why Jaime killed him....to save innocent lives.
Tyrion also discusses this with Daenerys at the start of the Battle of the Bastards episode. He tells Dany that Jaime confided in him that the Mad King had planted wildfire on "the Red Keep, the Great Sept, the guild halls and all the major thoroughfares."
In the episode before, Cersei's maester comes to her and discloses that his 'little birds' had confirmed the rumors were true and that they were "more than they imagined". We found out in the final episode that this must have meant the rumors of the wildfire.
Assuming that those rumors were the same as what Jaime shared with Brienne and Daenerys and knowing that Cersei only blew up the Great Sept, that means that the rest of the city is still wired and ready to blow. And Cersei has shown that she is willing to do it.
