I remember reading this back in my "lurking" days. A lovely reminiscence. I'm glad I've had the chance to read it again.

James Bond's London is quite a wonderful resource for visitors to London and Bond fans in general. It's too bad that the companion book on Britain never made it into print.

Lovely article!

Yes, I agree with Major Tallon. Gary Giblin's James Bond's London is one of the best books on Bond ever written. It really is superb for film and lit Bond fans and it is darned interesting in its own right. Highly, highly recommended.

I really hope one day we can see James Bond's Britain.
