1962 marked the birth year of an unstoppable franchise – after 60 years, James Bond ist still up and running. The first movie “Dr. No” already established a trademark: filming on exotic locations rather than hanging out at studios.
UNITED KINGDOM – London, Malaysia House at Trafalgar Square // The Living Daylights (1987) & Skyfall (2012) Malaysia House at Trafalgar Square may look dull – but has it’s own little spy story. At least in the world of James Bond.
UNITED KINGDOM – London, Canary Riverside Spa // Skyfall (2012) Want to relax like James Bond at a Shanghai rooftop pool? Just visit Londons Canary Wharf instead!
UNITED KINGDOM – London, The Water Gardens // Quantum of Solace (2008) No wonder, MI6 agent Mitchell double-crossed the secret service. The rent for his London flat in WaterGardens is not for everybody. This is how to find the location!
UNITED KINGDOM – London, Stanley Gardens // Spectre (2015) Even Bond clocks out – and returns to a cozy home. Or at least a home in a cozy neighborhood. And since “Spectre” we know where to look.
UNITED KINGDOM – London, Smithfield Market // Skyfall (2012) In “Skyfall”, the MI6 sets shop in an underground car park next to the Smithfield Meat Market. The place may seem inconspicuous. But look closely, London’s blood-soaked history shines through at every corner.
SPAIN – Mercado Central, Parroquia de Santa Cruz & Avenida Campo del Sur, Cadiz // Die Another Day (2002) “Die Another Day” turns the beautiful Cadiz into buzzling Havanna – and it works! Beach? Cigar Factory? Church Roof? This is, how the locations around the city are linked to each other.
UNITED KINGDOM – London, Saint Sofia Greek Cathedrale // Goldeneye (1995) A Greek Cathedrale in London doubling as a Russian Church in St. Petersburg? The Bond crew did a lot of tricks for this “Goldeneye” local gem.
UNITED KINGDOM – London, The Barbican // Quantum of Solace (2008) In “Quantum of Solace”, the MI6 finds a new home in the Barbican. We can’t blame the spooks: The venue lets you step out of the London rush.
UNITED KINGDOM – London, Whitehall Court // No Time To Die (2021) Whitehall is the political heart of London – and a James Bond location galore. But “No Time To Die” has managed to find yet another corner of the area, that hasn’t been filmed.
Twice has Bond visited Ha Long Bay in Vietnam – and twice had it actually been filmed in Thailand. Both places are equally beautiful. As are all other “Tomorrow Never Dies” Movie Locations.
No spy has been to more places: James Bond is roaming the big screen since 60 years and has hunted villains across the globe. Here are the most iconic James Bond Film Locations!
