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 fictionalised 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 are a normal part of the author’s life. You will see the exclusive clubs where he groomed, dined, socialised, and coined the phrase ‘shaken not stirred’! You’ll also get to see some places mentioned in his books and even a James Bond location along the tour route. 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, colourful villains, love of cars, hard drinking, and adventure taste. The tour will end at the birthplace of the Vodka Martini, which is the perfect end to your mission into the fascinating world of Ian Lancaster Fleming!
