ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE

You are going behind the scenes of the world’s most successful movie franchise. This incredible experience makes the dreams of every Bond fan come true. You’ll be discovering sites where iconic scenes in the movies were filmed and walking in the footsteps of Ian Fleming himself because most of what happens in the films imitates Ian Fleming’s unbelievable life.

You’ll discover the more hidden areas of London, the true ‘City of Spies’. We’ll be looking into the cars that the most famous spy in the world drives and the suits that he wears. So many amazing spy chases have taken place down the River Thames so it’s fitting you’ll be going on a thrilling speedboat ride in true Bond style.

You’ll enjoy a splash of the world’s best perfumes in a beautiful shop frequented by Royals and movie stars. Finally, you’ll be enjoying a Vesper Martini, and some tasty food in a lovely setting….a bar frequented by Fleming and Churchill that is known as ‘The House of Spies’.

During this fascinating day, you will learn the real stories behind the world of spies, as we take you through the London scenes where the most famous spy in the world was born and immortalised in celluloid.

This adventurous, immersive, elegant and fascinating experience makes for a memorable day.

AGENDA

Start your day in an informal setting over refreshement, meet your Spy expert and find out your ‘mission briefing’ for the day while discussing various Spy trivia. At the end of a day of discovery and adventure, relax and take in the atmosphere in true spy style with a Vesper Martini, – you’ve earned it! (Mocktails/ other drinks are available) and some delicious table food.

Now, listen very carefully…

• We’re going on a thrilling Speedboat ride down the River Thames now, watch out for Ernst Stavro Bloefeld on Westminster bridge

• Smarten up everyone, we’re going into Mayfair where Ian Fleming was born. Be on the lookout for fast cars, hopefully without gadgets, and sharp suits. There might even be a ‘Kingsman’ lurking in the shadows.
