London does not currently have a permanent, dedicated James Bond museum. The best known Bond exhibition, Bond in Motion at the London Film Museum in Covent Garden, closed and the collection now tours internationally under the Bond in Motion or 007 Action banner.  
For Bond fans in London, private filmset location tours and temporary exhibitions are the main ways to explore the world of 007. 

In Ian Fleming’s original novels, James Bond lives in a flat in the Chelsea area of London. The books describe it as a small ground floor flat in a converted Regency house off the King’s Road. Bond experts often identify this with Wellington Square in Chelsea, with some research pointing to number 25 as the likely inspiration, although no precise address is explicitly given in the novels.  In the films, Bond’s home is less clearly defined and changes between movies, so there is no single official on screen London house. 

No. Skyfall Lodge, the Bond family home seen in the film Skyfall, is a fictional house. The exterior was a set built on Hankley Common in Surrey and was demolished after filming; the interior scenes were shot at Pinewood Studios. The Scottish Highlands locations used for surrounding landscapes and roads, such as Glen Etive and Glencoe, can still be visited, but the actual Skyfall house no longer exists.  

Yes. Several London bars have strong James Bond connections. One of the most famous is Dukes Bar at Dukes Hotel in St James’s, long associated with Ian Fleming and widely believed to have inspired Bond’s famous “shaken, not stirred” martini line. Your driver can point out notable Bond related bars and, time permitting, you may choose to stop for a martini during your private tour. 

You can see the MI6 (SIS) headquarters from the outside, but it is an active intelligence building and is not open to the public for tours.  
On a James Bond London tour you typically view the SIS building at Vauxhall Cross from the Thames embankment or nearby bridges and hear how it has been used in films such as GoldenEye, The World Is Not Enough and Skyfall.  

The tour focuses on London filmset locations and real city landmarks connected with the Bond films. Typical highlights include: 

• The National Gallery, where Bond meets Q in Skyfall 

• Sotheby’s on New Bond Street, seen in the Octopussy Fabergé egg auction 

• City Hall and surrounding South Bank locations used in Spectre 

• The exterior of MI6 headquarters at Vauxhall Cross 

• Additional streets, bridges and buildings used across the series 

Your route can be tailored based on your favourite films and interests.  

The standard James Bond Taxi Tour lasts 4 hours. You can also book a longer bespoke tour of up to 10 hours if you want more time at locations, extra photo stops or to combine Bond sites with general London sightseeing.

Each black taxi can take up to 6 guests, which makes it ideal for couples, families and small groups. Larger groups can request multiple taxis. 

Pick up is available from any central London postcode. If you are staying outside central London, the team can recommend a suitable tour length and meeting point based on your location. 

Yes. The private taxi format makes it easy for families and multi generational groups. Guides can adjust the commentary so that both keen Bond fans and younger guests enjoy the experience. 

Yes. Every tour is bespoke. You can request specific films or locations, ask for more general London landmarks, or build in time for a Bond style drink stop. Your driver guide will shape the route around your interests.
