We all know of James Bond and his licence to kill spy films and many will remember James Bond himself was created by Ian Fleming. However he wasn’t the first in the world of espionage to use the code 007 and it’s quite possible that when James Bond was first thought up, Ian Fleming may… Continue reading John Dee- the original 007 Tudor Spy.

Behind the scenes with No Time To Die – James Bond
As I mentioned in my No Time To Die film review post, I do a James Bond Tour in London and whilst I was meeting tourists for a Winston Churchill and War Rooms Walking Tour, I noticed that the street their hotel was in was closed off on Google Maps. It’s a street I know… Continue reading Behind the scenes with No Time To Die – James Bond
No Time To Die – James Bond Movie Review
This review does contain some unusually massive spoilers for the new James Bond film, please consider yourselves warned or as Q would say…. pay attention 007!

Meeting James Bond in his London apartment!

A holiday from hell for two Russian murderers!
I’ve been on my fair share of nightmare holidays.

Just two every day men, absolutely not… Continue reading A holiday from hell for two Russian murderers!

I’ve reached the mid-point of my week long trip to Dubrovnik, Croatia. Having spent all the previous day out in Mostar, Bosnia I was wondering whether anything could come close to beating that incredible day.

James Bond – Spectre – Film Review
I’ve been looking forward to Spectre for a long time. I’m a big James Bind fan, I like all the movies except for the Pierce Brosnan films which for some reason I really don’t like at all. I guess I just found him too smarmy and the films too generically action orientated. The Daniel Craig… Continue reading James Bond – Spectre – Film Review
Visiting places from the movies or Shaken, not stirred – My new James Bond tour of London
Many of you know that when not writing my little heart out, I run and guide private guided tours with my company, Ye Olde England Tours.
