James Bond England Tour from London

This James Bond England tour departing from London is for small groups of true 007 fans. The tour is led by a knowledgeable James Bond expert who will share little known behind-the-scenes facts. On route to filming locations you will get the chance to watch movie clips, discuss the books and favourite film moments.  At each filming location you will get a chance to stretch your legs and take photographs, and enjoy being up-close and personal at the James Bond locations.

Part 1: Shrublands from Thunderball, Zukovsky’s Casino from The World is Not Enough, The Bladen Safe House and the milkman scene

The tour starts being picked up in London by your own driver and guide where 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. As well as taking in the scenes from this movie, the tour also highlights its history and use in other screen productions which include Downton Abbey and The Kings Speech. 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. This was the secret location from where Koskov is abducted by Necros. You can also see the exact spot where Necros covertly eliminates the milkman as that is in a lane close by.

Part 2: Derval’s hotel, paying your respects to Tracy Bond and Goldfingers golf club

The next destination will be a charming town in the Chilterns to visit the 18th century coaching inn, which stood in for the hotel where Major Derval stays in Thunderball; a stop will be taken here for lunch. Following a hearty lunch fit for a secret agent, you will get a chance to pay your respects at the location used as the resting place for Teresa Di Vicenzo/Tracy Bond in For Your Eyes Only. (OPTIONAL EXTRA: For groups of no larger than 8 persons we can also arrange afternoon tea at the location for one of the all-time classic on-screen confrontations between Bond and his nemesis, Auric Goldfinger. 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 3: Tibbett, a location trek around a country park back lot, Pinewood Studios and a photo-stop outside Bond’s London home

From here there will be a short stop to see where Bond on horseback discovers that Tibbett has been killed by MayDay in his Rolls Royce in A View to a Kill.From here its onto Black Park Country Park just behind Pinewood Studios where you will go on a trek to see where numerous scenes from Bond have been filmed including 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. There will be a short photo-stop outside Pinewood Studios, the leading destination for film makers and where the Bond films have been made since Dr No in 1962. Before you head back to London, there is just enough time to drop by the West London location used as Bond’s apartment in SPECTRE.
