"Bond, James Bond"

 

"Shaken not stired" ........ahhhhh how those words have become intertwined over the years with a do-or-die world of magnificiently malevolent villains, seductively sensuous sirens and reckless romances in exotic locations. Visit the sites that played an important role in the life of Ian Fleming. His place of birth, his clubs and his shops. As for 007 himself, much of what made the man - the gun, the gas-guzzler, the gambling and the grooming all took place around Mayfair and St James'. If he existed that is. Maybe he did. Maybe he does. Want to find out what personalities and events in Fleming's life inspired the characters and plots of Bond? Curious about how relevant 007 is post Cold War? Keen to hear more about their superhuman capability to absorb ridiculous amounts of alcohol and tobacco? Then leave your weapon at home and come and find out. Tux not compulsory.
