Private Ian Fleming Tour of London

What your day looks like

On this two-hour mission, you will get to explore the real world of James Bond where fiction meets reality as we take you on an Ian Fleming Tour of London. With 26 movies, 11 novels, and two collections of short stories the world of James Bond that Ian Fleming created has attracted a huge worldwide following since the publication of the first novel ‘Casino Royale’ in 1952. The walking tour will take you through Mayfair and explore the life of James Bond author Ian Fleming. Your expert guide will show you the parallels between his life working for British Intelligence during World War 2, his love life and travels to exotic places far and wide, and how those real experiences became fictionalized into the characters and places we know and love on page and screen. The Ian Fleming Tour of London will visit his birthplace, and immerse you into the high-class world of Mayfair where luxury and sophistication were a normal part of the author’s life. You will see where he was groomed, where he dined, some of the exclusive clubs that he socialized, the exclusive bar where he coined the phrase ‘shaken not stirred’, and much more. You’ll also get to see some of the places mentioned in his books and even a James Bond location along the route of the tour. This tour is very much a Bond Origins tour. Your guide will give you the background to Flemings's passion for guns, beautiful women, gambling, colorful villains, love of cars, hard-drinking, and taste for adventures. The tour will end at the birthplace of the Vodka Martini. What better way to end your mission into the fascinating world of Ian Lancaster Fleming?
