Over the last half century, James Bond has become a household name, synonymous with everything that is suave, smart, and sexy. With over 20 hit movies, a massive fan base, and some of the most beautiful machines to ever be caught in a secret agent car chase, London recognizes that “Bond, James Bond” is worthy of its very own, very large exhibit. Why not spend a weekend and embrace it?
Bond and Car Fans Unite
Bond in Motion is featured at the London Film Museum — itself a fascinating look behind the scenes of cinema. This flashy exhibit includes props, models, gadgets, and vehicles from some of the classic 007 movies, such as the Aston Martin from “Goldeneye,” Lotus Espirit S1 from “The Spy Who Loved Me,” the Rolls Royce Phantom III as seen in “Goldfinger,” and even a smaller model of the helicopter used in the latest Bond hit, “Skyfall.”
The exhibit is perfectly family-friendly, inviting Bond lovers of all ages to indulge in the real-life versions of the most iconic 007 vehicles and props.
The museum is located at 45 Wellington Street, Covent Garden, London WC2E 7BN, England and is open daily. Tickets can be purchased online to save waiting time at the exhibit. There are value Family Tickets for sale, and kids under the age of 5 are granted entry at no cost.
