I took hundreds of photos of the Spectre filming in London during the spring and early summer. Tourist hotspots like Trafalgar Square, Westminster Bridge, Whitehall, the Thames and large parts of the City shut down in the early hours. I really just took the pics for myself but, in the run-up to the film's release, thought it would be great to share them with as many Bond fans as possible. Apologies if you have already seen them elsewhere. They were taken from public streets, often from far away and I have cropped out the crew/security in some of the shots. You can check out my pics here (some of the photos may give away the storyline). Enjoy...

Hi Chris, and welcome 
I remember seeing some of these during filming itself; they're fantastic. Must be a pretty impressive camera you have too! Thanks very much for sharing with us here on the forum.

What he said. One doesn't catch a flying helicopter at nighttime with equipment from the rummage table – and on the other hand, good equipment does help, but some basic skills are required nonetheless 
Again, welcome, and thanks for sharing.

I am looking into a way I can exhibit/publish some of my photos after the positive comments I've received, so if anyone has any ideas I would be pleased to hear them!

Hey Chris, by chance are you related to the photographer Oliver Cheesman? He did John Gardner's author's photo on some of JG's early Bond hardcovers (UK).

Hi. No, I'm not, but that's very interesting. I didn't know that!

It's interesting to look back at these photo's now after having seen SPECTRE.
