London James Bond and Spies Guided Walking Tour
Description
Meet your guide by the London Eye and prepare to explore the exciting world of espionage from the James Bond franchise. Learn all about the man behind Bond, Ian Fleming, and how his experiences in combat and spying on enemies of Britain led to the creation of fiction's greatest secret agent. Hear about some other spies in London, including John Le Carre's George Smiley, Mick Herron's Slow Horses, and Robert Ludlum's Jason Bourne. Listen to real tales of espionage within the capital. See sights like Westminster Bridge, Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, Trafalgar Square, and the MI5 building. Find out where to go if you want to dress like James Bond, and where spies like James Bond go out to dine with a glass of martini… shaken, not stirred.
Tour Options
Itinerary
By the old county hall across from the river from Westminster James Bond would get his most unique and controversial car.
Explosions, helicopter crashes and a view of real life MI5 building
The home of Government and the location of Winston Churchill's statue. Who may have more of a hand in creating James Bond than you would think.
War memorials to the men and women from both world wars as well as other famous London landmarks including Downing street (home of the Prime Minster) and the Royal Horse Guard Parade.
Designed by Charles II and home to a range of flora and fauna including large Pelicans first donated from Russian Royalty in the 1600's
Discover several filming locations from some of the Bond films and learn how you too could start your career as a spy.
The iconic Trafalgar square is a key location with roads leading to Buckingham Palace, Whitehall and Charing Cross. Filming locations for Bond over several decades of the series will be discovered here as well as another lesser known spy.
Across the road from the lavish Corinthia hotel, a hot spot for A list movie stars to stay, is where the crux of one of the Bond films most explosive chases comes to a close.
A real piece of espionage happened on this bridge with the truth never revealed. Discover why they call it the Ladies Bridge.
A spectacular old royal residence that doubles as a location in soviet Russia.
Classic old London Dining and a Ian Fleming's favourite spot to kick back, indulge and maybe think up some adventures for his famous spy. So much so it would be used in one of the more recent films

A fun walking tour that will delight Bond-obsessed fans - but also enough historical context to hold your interest if you’re not. Our guide Ryan was great and clearly knew his stuff. Recommend!
This was a very authentic tour to James Bond and Ryan knew everything there was to know about Ian Fleming and all of the previous Bonds and histories! So glad I got to attend.
I highly recommend the James Bond walking tour around London. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. Our guide, Ryan, was brilliant – incredibly knowledgeable and informative about everything James Bond, Ian Fleming, and the history of parts of London and how they influenced everything espionage. Seeing the buildings and locations so closely linked to James Bond and the movies was absolutely fascinating and really brought the stories to life. Ryan’s enthusiasm and expertise made the tour even more enjoyable. I would highly recommend this tour to any James Bond fan or anyone interested in London’s cinematic history. A fantastic experience!
The perfect tour for all James Bond enthusiasts. Ryan is a genius guide for fans who want to dive in the Bond universe. Definitely worth it.
Our guide was Jamie and for the whole trip he knew his stuff( got there early and with a bright orange umbrella so we could see him), had an AMAZING personality, and overall gave us an awesome experience. We could tell he loves his job and enjoyed it which made everyone else enjoy it all the more. Great hair too!
That's great to hear! We will let Jamie know how much you enjoyed his tour (and hair)
Excellent tour guide with excellent information. I would highly recommend this tour to anybody who loves James Bond and history of spies.
Thank you for your lovely review! We're James Bond obsessed so we love sharing those stories in our great city
Jamie was our guide- lots of energy, knowledgeable and fun to enjoy the topic!
Thank you for coming along and so glad Jamie kept you entertained!
Booked as a birthday treat for my husband and it was perfect! We had Ryan as our tour guide who was fantastic. Clearly a massive Bond fan himself and full of facts and trivia! Also, really engaging and got our small group chatting with each other. It's a really great way to see the sights as the Bond locations are all the places to see! Definitely good value for money and a perfect alternative to staring at your phone all day trying to figure out where to go next. Thanks again Ryan!
Thank you so much for your review! Glad you had a great birthday! Ryan will love that Bond pun 😂
We went on the Bond tour with Ryan, and it was great! We were a small group and our guide adapted to our pace and interested. For instance, sharing crossover tidbits also linking Harry Potter along the way. We really appreciate that he adapted the walk and content for the kids. We were initially concerned about the length of the tour for our young ones, but it was totally smooth. Thanks Ryan!!
Thanks for your review! Glad that your kids were kept interested too!
We had a great time with Ryan. We were a little spoiled as it was just the two of us, but he did a great job pointing out the highlights and discussing some of the background. Definitely would do it again.
Oh that was lucky you got a private experience! So glad you enjoyed!
