James Bond in London: Iconic places featured in the films

Gin and James Bond: some things will forever be tied to London. Explore a little and see the spots where the films were shot

Another Bond film, another round of Bond fever.

As Spectre fills cinemas across the country, Bond is once again the talk of the town. Or, in this case, the city.

London has long featured prominently in the 007 franchise, even if it wasn't obvious: take Goldeneye, which, with a cunning use of flags, disguised Somerset House as St Petersburg. Perhaps London's iconic landmarks aren't so memorable, after all.

Though rarely central to the plot itself, the capital is invariably the starting point for many of Bond's exploits and, of course, is home to MI6.

Arm yourself with an Oyster card (no special gadgets required) to see where the films were shot across the capital.

Bond, of course, has travelled across the UK. See the map below for other locations with a 007 connection.

With thanks to Hertz for the map and a number of the images.
