James Bond Locations

Located on the Greenwich Peninsula in South East London, the Millennium Dome originally housed the Millennium Experience, an exhibition to celebrate the start of the third millennium. Now known as The O2, The Millennium Dome appears in The World is Not Enough at the end of the Thames boat chase scene.

Features in A View to a Kill and briefly appears in Thunderball. In A View to A Kill, Bond meets with French private detective Achille Aubergine in a restaurant in the Eiffel Tower. During the dinner, Aubergine is murdered by a masked assassin who Bond gives chase to until the assassin escapes by parachuting from the Eiffel Tower. The Eiffel Tower also briefly appears in the distance of a scene in Thunderball when SPECTRE agents are meeting in a Paris location. There is also a mention of the Eiffel Tower in Moonraker when Corine Dufor mentions to James Bond that Hugo Drax bought the tower but was refused an export permit.

The SIS building has been the headquarters of the British Secret Intelligence Service (SIS, also known as MI6) since 1994. The building was designed by architect Terry Farrell with an influence from 1930s industrial modernist architecture and Mayan and Aztec religious temples. It is located at 85 Albert Embankment, London on the bank of the River Thames next to Vauxhall bridge. As you can imagine, the building is not open to the public and it is a criminal offence for a person to trespass onto the site. It has appeared in several Bond films since Goldeneye as the headquarters of MI6 where Bond and other allies such as M, Q, Moneypenny and Tanner are based.

The building at the core of the palace was originally a townhouse built in 1703 for the Duke of Buckingham. It became the London residence of the United Kingdom's monarch on Queen Victoria's accession in 1837. In Die Another Day, Gustav Graves parachutes down in front of the palace before receiving a knighthood.

St. Mark's Square is the main public square in Venice which features in Moonraker after Bond escapes pursuers in his speed gondola, converts it into a hovercraft and enters the square from the waterway on to the Piazetta di San Marco.

Checkpoint Charlie is the well-known checkpoint along the Berlin wall which served as a crossing point between West and East Berlin during the Cold War. In Octopussy, Bond is briefed by M in a chauffeur driven car heading towards Checkpoint Charlie from West to East Berlin.

The official residence of the Governor-General of Jamaica, Kings House has stood on its Hope Road site since 1872 when the capital moved from Spanish Town to Kingston. The original building was destroyed in the 1907 earthquake and rebuilt in 1909 to designs by Sir Charles Nicholson. Set in extensive gardens on what was once Somerset Pen, an Anglican bishops estate, it has hosted royalty and heads of state from around the world. Appears as Government House where Bond meets with Pleydell-Smith in Dr. No.

The station where the jewels are loaded onto Octopussy's carriage.

The village of Hurley sits on a particularly picturesque stretch of the River Thames in Berkshire, where the river widens and meanders through water meadows and woodland. The area has been inhabited since Saxon times and Hurley Priory was founded in 1086. The riverbanks here are quiet and unspoilt, popular with punters and pleasure craft in summer. Appears in From Russia with Love where Bond enjoys a riverside picnic with Sylvia Trench before being called away on his mission to Istanbul.
