Every Stop Has a Story

Shaken, Not Stirred

Legend says Ian Fleming coined "shaken, not stirred" right here over a martini, and the bar's own martinis are so strong and high-proof that there's an unofficial two-drink limit per person.

Blades

Ian Fleming modeled Bond's card club Blades in "Moonraker" on this real 1762 club, once frequented by Winston Churchill and David Niven, star of the original Casino Royale film.

The Reform Club

This is the real club where Phileas Fogg wagered he could travel around the world in eighty days, and where Bond later dueled Gustav Graves as a fictional fencing club in "Die Another Day."

Old War Office Building

Britain's Secret Service was actually founded inside this building in 1909, and its endless corridors, over 2.5 miles in all, once saw Boy Scouts on bicycles delivering urgent messages between rooms.

An Artistic Briefing

In "Skyfall," Bond meets the new Q in front of Turner's "The Fighting Temeraire," a painting of an old warship being towed to the scrap heap, its "old vs. new" theme echoing Bond's own struggle to stay relevant.

Traditional Spy Dining

London's oldest restaurant, open since 1798, becomes a secret meeting spot for M, Q, and Moneypenny in "SPECTRE."

International Disguises

This grand courtyard played a Soviet square in "GoldenEye," complete with vintage Ladas and a fake Lenin statue, before appearing as itself just two years later in "Tomorrow Never Dies."

The Genealogist's Office

Bond poses as a representative of this real institution to infiltrate Blofeld's mountain lair in "On Her Majesty's Secret Service," a disguise grounded in reality since it has been granting genuine coats of arms since 1484.

MI6 Headquarters

The real MI6 has called this site home since 1964, and when staff watched their own office get blown up in "Skyfall," they reportedly cheered.

A High-Flying Chase

The explosive opening boat chase of "The World Is Not Enough" ends with a stuntman rolling Bond down the side of this dome, then known as the Millennium Dome.
