James Bond Locations Tour from London

This James Bond Locations Tour from London is for true aficionados of 007. The full-day tour is led by a knowledgeable James Bond expert who will share little-known behind-the-scenes facts. En route you will get the chance to watch movie clips, discuss the books and your favourite film moments.  At each filming location, you can get out to take photographs, and enjoy time at each place.

Part 1: Shrublands from Thunderball, Zukovsky’s Casino from The World is Not Enough (not available until Easter 2022)

The James Bond Locations Tour from London starts at a location of your choice with your own driver and guide. Firstly, you will head for Buckinghamshire via a short stop at the location used as Shrublands in Thunderball. Then you visit an RAF base for a guided tour of the Victorian country house built for Alfred de Rothschild. This was used as the interior and exterior location for Zukovsky’s casino in The World is Not Enough. The tour also highlights the location’s history and use in other screen productions which include Downton Abbey and The Kings Speech. If access to the casino is not possible on the day of your tour you will instead be taken to see the exteriors of Blenheim Palace which was used as the location where Bond infiltrates the secret meeting at the Palazzo Cadenza in SPECTRE.

Part 2: The Bladen Safe House, and the milkman scene

Next up is a visit to Oxfordshire and the beautiful picturesque 12th-century house in the Chiltern hills. This location served as the Bladen Safe House in The Living Daylights. Koskov was abducted by Necros at this secret location. You can also see the exact spot where Necros covertly eliminates the milkman as that is in a lane close by.

Part 3: Derval’s hotel, paying your respects to Tracy Bond

The next destination will be a charming town in the Chilterns. Here you will visit the 18th-century coaching inn, which stood in for the hotel where Major Derval stays in Thunderball. Lunch will be taken here. Following a hearty lunch fit for a secret agent, you will head to the resting place of Bond’s beloved wife. Pay your respects at this location used as the resting place for Teresa Di Vicenzo/Tracy Bond in For Your Eyes Only.

Optional Visit to Goldfingers golf club – (not available until Summer 2023)

For groups of no larger than 8 persons we can also arrange afternoon tea at Goldfingers Golf Club. You can see where the all-time classic on-screen confrontations between Bond and his nemesis, Auric Goldfinger took place. Here you will enjoy an afternoon tea, get a tour of the clubhouse and see the famous 18th hole where Goldfinger concedes to Bond. This is available at an additional cost and by arrangement only.

Part 4: Tibbett, a location trek around a country park backlot

From here there will be a short stop to see a scene from A View to a Kill. This is where Bond on horseback discovers that Tibbett has been killed by MayDay in his Rolls Royce. Then it’s onto Black Park Country Park just behind Pinewood Studios where you will go on a movie location trek. Numerous scenes from Bond have been filmed in the park which is one big backlot. Discover the Alpine forest car chase in Goldfinger, the pipe-line explosion from The World Is Not Enough, and the Ugandan Rebel Camp from Casino Royale. Who knows if you’ll be lucky to see some filming taking place on the day.

Part 5: Pinewood Studios, and a photo-stop at a covert meeting with M

There will also be a short photo-stop outside Pinewood Studios. The studio is the leading destination for filmmakers and where the Bond films have been made since Dr No in 1962. En route to central London, there is just enough time to drop by the West London location where Bond and M meet by the river Thames in No Time to Die.
