James Bond's London: A Reference Guide to Locations (2001)

A travel/reference guide to locations from the life of Ian Fleming, his novels, and the “official” EON Productions films (through 1999's The World Is Not Enough). The book was originally scheduled to be released in 2000, but Giblin's research turned up so much information that the book was divided into two volumes. The second volume, titled James Bond's Britain, was never published.

Now you can follow in the footsteps of the most famous secret agent of all time — from the exclusive gentlemen's clubs of St James's to the breathtaking skyscrapers of Docklands, Isle of Dogs.

In this comprehensive reference guide to over 250 London locations you will:

  • Explore the wartime haunts of Naval Intelligence Officer Ian Fleming
  • Visit Fleming's (and Bond's) favorite hotels, restaurants, pubs and clubs
  • Discover Fleming's London homes, as well as those of Sean Connery, Roger Moore, and Pierce Brosnan
  • Dress to kill at the shops where 007 acquires his custom-made wardrobe
  • Retrace Bond's The World Is Not Enough boat chase from Vauxhall Cross to the Millennium Dome
  • Uncover the real-life and reel-life worlds of MI6
  • Drop by Elliot Carver's German Press Room, the Russian hotel from GoldenEye, the Hamburg car park where Bond field-tested his Tomorrow Never Dies BMW and the Azerbaijani air base from The World Is Not Enough — all without leaving London!
  • Sample dozens of London (and Bondian) Landmarks and Institutions, including the Bank of England, the College of Arms, Trafalgar Square, St Paul's Cathedral, Sotheby's, Harrods, Scotland Yard, Tower Bridge, and the British Museum

This comprehensive guide includes rare photographs, directions to the locations, behind the scenes information on every site, exclusive comments from the filmmakers and actors, as well as family and friends of Ian Fleming.

With a Foreword by Bond Editor and Director Peter Hunt and a Tribute to Ian Fleming by his cousin, Christopher Lee, James Bond's London is a must for armchair travelers and real-life adventurers alike.
